Abstract
Presence of functioning endometrium (glands and stroma) in sites other than uterine mucosa is called endometriosis. Prevelance- During the last couple of decades, the prevalence of endometriosis has been increasing both in terms of real and apparent The prevalence is about 10%. However, prevalence is high amongst the infertile women (30–40%) as based on diagnostic laparoscopy and laparotomy. The one of the symptom of this condition is Dysmenorrhea (70). The pain starts a few days prior to menstruation; gets worsened during menstruation and takes time, even after cessation of period, to get relief of pain. Pain usually begins after few years pain-free menses.This case report presents the Ayurvedic management of endomteriosis in a 21-year-old woman. The therapeutic intervention included Erandamoola niruha basti with palasha kshara along with anuvasana basti with sahacharadi taila. Post-treatment shows significant reduction in pain during the menstruation which was her chief complaint, suggesting the potential role of Ayurvedic therapies in managing endometriosis. This case highlights the integrative approach of Ayurveda in addressing endomteriosis specially the severe dysmenorrhea experienced by the patient, warranting further investigation through controlled clinical studies.
