Ayurvedic Management of Haemorrhagic Ovarian Cyst through Shodhana - A Evidance Based Case report

Abstract

The Carpus luteum is lined by a layer of granulose cells which rapidly become vascularized, Spontaneous but self-limiting bleeding fills the central cavity and when bleeding is excessive the corpus luteum enlarges and forms a haemorrhagic corpus luteum cyst, which may rupture. Bleeding from a ruptured corpus luteum can vary from mild haemorrhage to massive hemoperitoneum, leading to shock and subsequent emergency surgery. Clinical symptoms are mainly due to peritoneal irritation by the blood effusion. It has become a serious and well-known lifestyle disorder induced by Viruddha Ahara and Vihara as per Ayurveda. Ayurveda is seen as a step forward in the treatment of Raktaja Granthi (haemorrhagic ovarian cyst). This case report reveals the management of Raktaja Granthi (haemorrhagic ovarian cyst) through Virechana along with internal medicines. A 26-year-old female patient complained of severe abdominal pain during menstruation, and heavy bleeding and was diagnosed with Raktaja Granthi (haemorrhagic ovarian cyst) after required investigations and examinations.
