ENDOMETRIOSIS

Endometriosis is a gynecological condition in which tissue similar to the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) grows outside the uterus.

These abnormal growths may occur on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic lining, or surrounding organs.

During the menstrual cycle, this tissue responds to hormonal changes and may bleed, but unlike the normal uterine lining, the blood cannot exit the body. This may lead to inflammation, scar formation, and pelvic pain.

Endometriosis can significantly affect menstrual health and may cause severe pain during periods, sexual intercourse, or bowel movements.

The condition may also affect fertility in some women.

Ayurvedic Perspective

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

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

Digestive disturbances and toxin accumulation (Ama) may further aggravate the condition.

Ayurvedic management focuses on reducing inflammation, regulating menstrual health, and supporting reproductive function.

Management may include:

  • Herbal medicines supporting reproductive health
  • Therapies that reduce inflammation and pelvic pain like Vasti, Virechanam, Abhyangam etc
  • Dietary guidance to improve hormonal balance
  • Lifestyle advice supporting menstrual health
