Efficacy of Ayurvedic Medicine in the Management of Large Ovarian Cyst: A Case Report

Abstract

Ovarian cysts are gradually increasing in our society. Large cysts of the ovary are uncommon and rare in recent times because of their early diagnosis and management due to modern imaging modalities. Because of large size medicinal management is challenging. In Ayurveda, it can be correlated with Kaphaja Granthi. In the present case study, a 44 year old female married patient visited OPD of Government Ayurvedic Dispensary, Nagar (25Bed), Deoria, Uttar Pradesh, India with a previously diagnosed large ovarian cyst in the left adnexal region measuring 15.3cm x 6.3cm x 11.9 cm with SOL (space occupying lesion) of 609 ml. The case was treated for 5 months with a combination of classical Ayurvedic formulations. Six Ayurvedic formulations were advised for the treatment of ovarian cyst (Granthi Roga) and showed complete disappearance of the cyst and symptoms. The present study emphasizes the role of Ayurvedic medicine in bringing a tremendous result in the management of large ovarian cyst.
