UNDERSTANDING ADENOMYOSIS THROUGH AYURVEDA: A HOLISTIC APPROACH
Dr. Mrunali G. Phapale*
ABSTRACT
Adenomyosis is a menstruation-related uterine disorder, refers to the presence of endometrial stroma and glands within the myometrium and is typically observed in reproductive-age women. Ayurveda does not have a single direct correlation for Adenomyosis but identifies it through various conditions that resemble its symptoms. Nowadays, using imaging techniques such as transvaginal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging, adenomyosis is increasingly identified in young women with dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, abnormal uterine bleeding and heavy menstrual bleeding. Despite the fact that adenomyosis requires long-term management- addressing symptoms, fertility concerns, and pregnancy risks- there is no consensus on treatment due to the absence of approved medications and personalized therapies. Adenomyosis requires a lifelong management plan, including pain and bleeding control, fertility preservation and pregnancy complications. Ayurveda focuses on doshas. There is no any direct correlation of adenomyosis but based on the symptoms it can be correlate to Vataja Asrugdara. Treatment approach should be Raktastambhan, Raktavardhan, Raktaprasadan and Vata Shaman.
