Abstract
Cysts in the ovaries can be simple or complex. Ovarian cysts classified as complexes include either blood or a solid material. In routine gynaecological practice, ovarian cystic masses are a prevalent concern. The prevalence of ovarian cysts varies greatly, according to data. According to reports, ovarian cysts affect 8–18% of women who are postmenopausal and premenopausal. The majority of the cysts are asymptomatic and are only found via standard ultrasonography. Some of them are very symptomatic, making it difficult for women to go about their daily lives. The size of the cysts has a significant impact on the symptoms. In modern times, therapy options include combined oral contraceptive pills and surgery to address cysts that don't go away after three months. Due to the numerous adverse effects of oral contraceptives, there is a growing need for other forms of management, particularly among patients who prefer not to undergo surgery. Ayurveda treats ovarian cysts under the general category of Granthi, where they are associated explicitly with Kaphaja Granthi. Treatment for an 18-year-old female patient who had a complicated left ovarian cyst with cystitis, dyspareunia, burning micturition, and significant lower abdominal pain was based on Ayurvedic principles. The patient was administered Srotosanghar Churn, Granthihar Kwath, Capsule Liv Fit, Search Cordial capsule, and Search Cordial syrup for one month. A follow-up USG revealed that the cyst had disappeared entirely, and the symptoms had decreased significantly. The current study highlights how Ayurveda can help control ovarian cysts beneficially.
