UTERINE FIBROID

UTERINE FIBROID

Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that arise from the smooth muscle tissue of the uterus. They are among the most common gynecological conditions affecting women during their reproductive years.

Fibroids may vary in size, number, and location. They may develop within the uterine wall, inside the uterine cavity, or on the outer surface of the uterus.

Some women may not experience symptoms, while others may have heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, abdominal enlargement, or reproductive difficulties.

Hormonal influences, genetic predisposition, and lifestyle factors may contribute to fibroid development.

Proper management focuses on controlling symptoms, maintaining reproductive health, and improving overall uterine function.

Common Symptoms Patients May Notice

Women with uterine fibroids may experience:

• Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
• Pelvic pressure or discomfort
• Frequent urination
• Lower abdominal swelling
• Pain during menstruation
• Difficulty conceiving in some cases

Ayurvedic Perspective

In Ayurveda, uterine fibroids may be associated with imbalance of Kapha and Vata doshas affecting the reproductive system.

• Kapha imbalance may contribute to abnormal tissue growth.
• Vata imbalance may lead to pain and menstrual irregularities.

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

Ayurvedic management focuses on balancing doshas, supporting uterine health, and regulating menstrual function.
