This case report evaluates the clinical outcomes of an integrative Ayurvedic treatment protocol for a 36-year-old woman diagnosed with adenomyosis via transvaginal ultrasound. The patient received a regimen including Deepana-Pachana, Vatanulomana, Raktashodhaka drugs, Nasya, and Basti Krama alongside specific dietary and lifestyle modifications targeting Vata-Pitta imbalance. Results indicated significant improvements within ninety days, characterized by reduced pain scores, decreased menstrual blood loss, improved hemoglobin levels, and diminished uterine volume. The authors conclude that this non-invasive approach can effectively manage symptoms and morphology, though they note that larger controlled studies are necessary to validate these findings. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis, specifically focusing on a non-surgical Ayurvedic management strategy for symptom relief and uterine health improvement.

Abstract

Adenomyosis is a benign but debilitating gynaecological condition characterized by ectopic endometrial tissue within the myometrium, often presenting with dysmenorrhea, heavy menstrual bleeding, and infertility. Ayurveda describes a comparable condition under Vataja Asrigdara, attributed to Dushti of Vata, Pitta, and Rakta. Integrative Ayurvedic management has shown promise in reducing symptoms and improving uterine health. Case Presentation: A 36-year-old married woman presented with severe dysmenorrhea, heavy menstrual bleeding, and pelvic heaviness for 18 months. Transvaginal ultrasound reported a bulky uterus with asymmetric thickening of the posterior myometrium suggestive of adenomyosis. Intervention: She underwent an integrative Ayurvedic protocol comprising Deepana-Pachana, Vatanulomana, Raktashodhaka drugs, Nasya, and Basti Krama. Diet and lifestyle guidelines following Vata-Pitta Shamaka principles were advised. Results: Within 90 days, the patient showed marked reduction in pain score on the VAS scale, decrease in menstrual blood loss (PBAC score), improved haemoglobin, and reduction in uterine volume on ultrasound. Conclusion: This case demonstrates that an integrative Ayurvedic approach can significantly improve clinical symptoms and uterine morphology in adenomyosis, offering a non-invasive therapeutic option. Larger controlled studies are required.
