ADENOMYOSIS

Adenomyosis occurs when the endometrial tissue that normally lines the uterus begins to grow into the muscular wall of the uterus.

This abnormal growth may cause the uterus to become enlarged and lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, painful periods, and pelvic discomfort.

The exact cause of adenomyosis is not fully understood, but hormonal factors, uterine inflammation, and previous uterine procedures may contribute to the condition.

Adenomyosis is most commonly seen in women between the ages of 35 and 50, although it can occur earlier.

The condition may significantly affect menstrual health and quality of life due to heavy bleeding and severe pain during menstruation.

Ayurvedic Perspective

In Ayurveda, adenomyosis may be associated with disturbances in Vata and Pitta doshas affecting the uterus and reproductive system.

  • Pitta imbalance may contribute to excessive bleeding and inflammation.
  • Vata imbalance may cause pain and irregular menstrual flow.

Improper diet, hormonal imbalance, stress, and toxin accumulation (Ama) may contribute to uterine disorders.

Ayurvedic management focuses on reducing inflammation, regulating menstrual flow, and supporting uterine health.

Management may include:

  • Herbal medicines supporting uterine health
  • Therapies that regulate menstrual cycles like Vasti, Virechanam, Abhyangam, Swedanam, Yoni Pichu etc
  • Dietary guidance for hormonal balance
