AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF PARIPLUTAA YONIVYAPAD W.S.R. TO BILATERAL TUBAL BLOCKAGE: A CASE STUDY

Abstract

Tubal blockage is the second most common cause of female infertility. Acharya Charaka and Vagbhata have considered that complications of Yonivyapad lead to infertility. A common complication of PIDs (Pelvic In-flammatory Diseases) is tubal blockage; hence, tubal blockage can be co-related with Paripluta Yonivyapad, which is caused by Vata and Pitta Dosha is similar to the preliminary stage of the tubal block as all its symptoms are suggestive of PID. The methodology used was a single-armed, open-labelled case study of a subject of 34 years old female. Her history revealed early pregnancy loss, posterior wall intramural fibroid followed by infer-tility due to bilateral tubal blockage and also had dyspareunia. She was advised to undergo surgical manage-ment, but she refused and then approached our hospital. After thorough examinations, she was treated with Ayurvedic medications followed by Uttarabasti, having Shophaghna, Shulahara, Rasayana, Tridoshahara and Pramaathi actions. As a result, she successfully got conceived. It concludes that Ayurvedic management is suc-cessful and safe, so an effort has been made to share the protocol for the advancement of Ayurvedic science for the welfare of mankind.
