Author : Dr. Suvidha Patil and Dr. Rajesh M Shah
Abstract :
This case study examines the Ayurvedic management of irregular menstruation in a 38-year-old woman, highlighting the importance of lifestyle modification and Panchakarma. The patient presented with various Vata-related symptoms, including irregular menses, lower back pain, abdominal discomfort, headache, nausea, and decreased appetite, attributed to long-term suppression of Mutra (Urine) urges. A comprehensive treatment protocol was implemented, including Panchakarma (purification therapies) and Shamana (palliative therapies), which involved body massage, fomentation, medicated enemas, and specific Ayurvedic medications. Significant improvements were observed within two weeks, with relief from all symptoms and normalization of menstrual cycles. The study emphasizes the necessity of addressing both physical and psychological factors contributing to women's health issues and the effectiveness of Ayurvedic interventions in restoring balance and well-being.
