Ayurvedic Approach in Management of Vata-Kaphaja Artavdushti (PCOS)

Abstract

In this present case study, a 40-year-old woman patient consulted the Ayurvedic OPD of M.M.M. Govt. Ayurveda College & Hospital, Udaipur, with the complaint of irregular and scanty menses from 2 to 3 years, facial hair growth from 6 to 7 years, weight gain, hair fall and painful menses from last 6 months. She presented with her ultrasonography (USG) reports, and the findings suggested bilaterally bulky ovaries with 20–22 peripherally arranged small follicles, consistent with polycystic ovarian morphology. This case study highlights the clinical outcomes of an integrated Ayurvedic approach- comprising Basti Chikitsa and oral administration of Tilmooladi Churna for 3 months. The therapeutic protocol resulted in the restoration of regular menstrual cycles, improved hormonal profile, and reduction of cystic ovarian changes on ultrasonography, suggesting the efficacy of Ayurvedic intervention in managing PCOS.
