Abstract
Nowadays, due to an altered lifestyle, polycystic ovarian cyst (PCOD) has become a very common disease with having high incidence rate. Although ovarian cysts are functional in nature but often managing the condition requires surgery, depending upon the condition. According to the agony it creates and the avoidance of surgery by the patient, many times it requires a conservative approach. In this case report, we will discuss the effectiveness of Ayurvedic management in a single ovarian cyst. Here, a case of a 37-year-old female patient reported to the Prasuti Tantra & Stree Roga OPD (outpatient department) of KATS Ayurvedic College & Hospital, Ankushpur, Berhampur, Ganjam, Odisha, with the complaint of right iliac region pain for 5 months and heavy bleeding during menstruation since 3 cycles and sometimes feels lower abdomen pain during active movement. She was presented with the USG report suggesting of an ovarian cyst in the right ovary with the dimensions of 40x35mm. She was interested in taking traditional Ayurvedic treatment. The case was treated for six weeks with a combination of different Ayurvedic medications to alleviate symptoms and dissolve the ovarian cyst. The patient was treated with traditional Ayurvedic formulations like Varunadi Kashaya, Kanchanar guggul, Kaishor guggul, Bruhat Methi modak, Kuberaksha vatiand ashokarista.In follow-up after 30 days patient's condition was improved, and pain was reduced. In a consequent follow-up after 45 days patient's condition was assessed clinically and pre- & post-treatment USG reports. Clinically patient found improvement in symptoms, while the USG report suggests there is no evidence of ovarian cyst, indicating complete relief of the condition after treatment. The effectiveness of this Ayurvedic management approach was found satisfactory for ovarian cysts.
