Is Ayurveda or allopathy safe in treating fibroids?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am a 37-year-old female married three days back. I have a regular 27-day period cycle. But recently last month I had a urine infection and got my periods twice. I was under antibiotics for 10 days.

During the investigation, we found three intramural fibroids of size 0.5 inches by 0.7 inches anterior, 0.5 inches by 0.2 inches posterior, and 0.4 inches by 0.2 inches cm posterior walls. My current month's periods started 30 days later than my last periods. I have had mild pain in the right mid-lower abdomen region for the last two months. A follicle was in the right ovary at the time of the pelvis scan. I get abdominal cramps on the first day of my periods since my puberty. Other reports turned out to be normal.

I am looking forward to conceiving. Will this fibroid cause any problems? Will allopathic treatment stop my regular periods and lead to menopause? My question to you is, how long should I have to take medicines in Ayurveda for dissolving my fibroids? Will it stop my periods, or is it safe? And after treatment will I be able to conceive? Please advise.

Thanks.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Do not worry, you are at the right place. In Allopathy, the only line of treatment for fibroid (non-cancerous growths that can develop in or around the uterus) is surgery. Even after surgery, you may get adverse effects. As you are married at a late age, you may take some longer time or years to conceive than a normal woman. So do not worry about it. The chance of conceiving is as high as 90 percent with alternative medicine in your case.

First, let us concentrate on the fibroid mass. Please mention your weight also. And if possible you can attach your reports. Do you have white discharge, bloating, or any other symptoms? My suggestions for you on a diet include:

1. You must avoid junk food, fried food, excess fat (oil), cheese, and processed food.

2. You must use groundnut oil or olive oil for cooking.

3. You can eat all other food items without fear, except for chicken (if you are a non-vegetarian).

4. You must add more green leafy vegetables to your diet like drumsticks, broccoli, or spinach.

5. You must avoid tea and coffee. Instead, you can consume herbal teas.

6. Do moderate exercise every day and walk as long as you can to sweat out more.

In Ayurveda, we prefer a detox before any medication for better absorption and action. So, you will need a complete detox. A detox is releasing more sweat through moderate workouts, following pranayama, and proper evacuation of urine and bowel. For proper evacuation of urine and motion, I suggest Anuloma churna (Ajamoda, Jeeraka, Balharda, Yashtimadhu, Shunthi, Saindhav salt, and Sonamukhi)- one teaspoon in warm water before going to bed, Chandraprabha Vati (prepared from 42 herbs with main ingredients as Guggul, Shilajeet, Laugh bhasma, Trivit, Trijatak, etc.)- take twice daily after meals for three days. You must consume more water. You can also drink water infused with Ushira (Vetiveria Zizanioides), Nannari (Sarasaparilla), or Padhimugam (Sappan Wood).

After your detox is finished, I suggest you take the below medications for one month and have a regular follow-up.

1. Varanadi Kashayam (varunadi kwath) 1.15 tablespoons dissolved in half a cup of water twice daily before food.

2. Rajahpravartini Vati (aloe Vera, borax, blue vitriole, and asafoetida) two tablets in the morning and two tablets in the evening after food.

3. Kanchanara Guggulu (Kanchanar, Haritaki, Bibhitaka, Amalaki, Marica, Shunthi, Pippali, Ela or Suksmaila, Varuna, Tvak, Tejpatta, Guggulu shuddha) two tablets in the morning and two tablets in the evening after food.

4. Ashokarishta and Kumaryasava two teaspoons each dissolved in half a cup of water twice daily after food.

The medicines will be available in Ayurvedic pharmacies. Consult your doctor and take the medicines accordingly.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thank you.
