Yoga and Naturopathy Intervention: A Case Study of Successful Fertility in Primary Infertility with Polycystic Ovarian Disease

Abstract

Infertility is a common complication in women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), often resulting from anovulation, hyperandrogenism, metabolic disturbances, and stress-related neuroendocrine dysregulation. Integrative therapies, including yoga and naturopathy, may complement conventional treatment by targeting physiological, metabolic, and psychological pathways. A 27-year-old woman with primary infertility for two years, irregular menstrual cycles, and mild acne was diagnosed with PCOS. Investigations revealed polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasound. The patient underwent a structured one-week inpatient yoga and naturopathy intervention, followed by three months of continued integrated therapy, including yoga, dietary modifications, and naturopathic support. Post-intervention, the patient experienced regularized menstrual cycles, improved metabolic parameters, and enhanced psychological well-being. Conception was achieved within three months of continuing the integrated therapy. This case highlights the potential of yoga and naturopathic interventions as effective non-pharmacological strategies for managing infertility in women with PCOS, improving ovulatory function, metabolic health, and psychological resilience. Larger, long-term studies are needed to validate these findings and standardize treatment protocols.
