Management of Tubal Blockage Through Ayurvedic Intervention

Abstract

Blockage of fallopian tubes accounts for nearly one-third of female infertility cases, most commonly due to pelvic inflammatory disease, adhesions, or endometriosis. Conventional treatments often involve surgery or assisted reproductive techniques, which may not always be feasible. Aim: To evaluate the role of Ayurvedic therapies- specifically Apamarga Kshara Taila Uttarbasti and Garbhaprada Yoga- in restoring tubal patency. Methods: A 34-year-old woman with secondary infertility and confirmed bilateral tubal block underwent Ayurvedic management, including Intrauterine Uttarbasti, Rasayana therapy, and lifestyle modifications. Results: Post-treatment hysterosalpingography (HSG) demonstrated re-establishment of tubal patency, highlighting the effectiveness of the integrative approach. Conclusion: Ayurvedic interventions, when applied judiciously, may provide a minimally invasive and cost-effective option for managing tubal factor infertility.
