Uterine Fibroid

Care At Every Step!

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous (benign) growths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus. The size of the uterine fibroids can vary and ranges from very small to larger than a cauliflower. Sometimes, the fibroids can cause the uterus to grow to the size of a five-month pregnancy. In most cases, there is more than one fibroid in the uterus. While fibroids do not always cause symptoms, their size and location can lead to the problems.

Ayurvedic Description Of Uterine Fibroid:

Uterine fibroid in Ayurveda is known as Garbhashya granthi or arbuda. When tridosha, vitiate Rakta (blood), Mansa (uterine muscles) and Meda (adipose tissue) and get mixed with Kapha and cause the imbalance of tridosha, they produce rounded protuberant, glandular and hard swelling structures called as Granthi. Whereas the vitiated Vata causes pain and dark menstrual flow, vitiated Pitta leads to heavy blood loss.

Causes and Risk Factors

Genetics

The risk of disease affecting a woman increases three times if the mother had fibroids. A few specific genes or cytogenetic deviations are associated with fibroids.

Hormones

Progesterone and estrogen are the two hormones that stimulate the development of uterine lining in menstrual cycle, so that it can be prepared for pregnancy. The uterine fibroids have more receptors for estrogen and progesterone than normal uterine muscles, so the uterine fibroids tend to shrink post menopause as the hormones production of estrogen and progesterone ceases.

Age

With increasing age, the risk becomes more as it is common in women who are in their years of early 30s to till 50s.

Race

African and American women are more likely to have uterine fibroids and than women of other races. Also, these women tend to develop the fibroids at a younger age.

Other

Obesity, HTN early puberty, use of contraceptives, lower consumption of vegetables, diet rich in red meat may possibly be associated with increased fibroid risk.

Self Care Tips

  • Foods that promote excessive estrogen production need to be avoided, this include non-organic foods, dairy products, sugar, cruciferous vegetables contain indole-3-carbinole, which helps your liver to effectively metabolize excessive hormones.
  • Alcohol, caffeine, refined carbohydrates and soy products should be avoided.
  • Sun salutation (Surya Namaskar) in the early morning is very helpful.
  • Keep body weight under control in case of obesity.
  • A healthy lifestyle is advocated to avoid risk; this includes the right diet habits coupled with right exercise in daily routine.
  • Do not ignore any unusual bleeding from the vagina; consult your doctor immediately once the problem is noticed.

In the modern gynecological practice, uterine fibroids do not have any conservative treatment other than surgery. However, this can be managed well with Ayurvedic treatment. Since, the treatment continues for a longer period of time, the patients need to require some patience to witness the results.

  • With intense gratitude, i am writing these words for 'AAS Ayurveda' that saved me from undergoing an unavoidable surgery. In May 2015, i was diagnosed with a mobile calculus of 7mm in my gall bladder. I was asked to undergo gall bladder surgery by the physician who advised me for the ultrasound. It was around that time, i approached 'AAS Ayurveda' if they have some cure for this as i have read somewhere that these stones can be removed with some Ayurvedic medicines and special diet plans. I was given a dietary regimen along with a prescription of herbal medications which i was advised to follow for the next 10 days. Following this 10 days protocol period designed for me, I was asked to undergo for the ultrasound again. To my great surprise, the stone in my gall bladder was not there anymore. It was flushed away. I express my heartfelt thanks to the ever approachable and empathetic team of 'AAS Ayurveda' for saving me from a surgery and most importantly; an organ of my body.

  • I took detoxification and overweight management plan from AAS Ayurveda, It was just awesomly cherishing, and something I would call ineffable experience for me to put in the words here. I have never felt so light and yet so full. The plan was suitability customised for me so that I will not feel hungry anytime during my day at office. Dr. Bhupesh Vashisht has been very kind and supportive through out this time. He has guided me well about all the details of the plan, my body constitutions, requirements of body. He also helped me to get over of so many myths I was carrying about diet and weight loss. I have lost around 3.5 kgs in 10 days and surprisingly did not give up food at all. Once again, I extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude towards the team of Aas Ayurveda and wishing them all the very best for their future endeavors of guiding people towards a healthy journey.

  • The best thing about AAS Ayurveda is their committment towards their patients. They are always easily approachble and engage deeply with their patients. I would like to thank AAS and their doctors for helping me with a treatment to beat the condition of acne. Actually I had been suffering from acne and pimples on my face from last few years and took lot of allopathic treatment but nothing worked. I got to know about AAS through one of my friend and contacted them. The treatment from AAS Ayurveda really helped me to get rid of acne which I thought once was not possible for me. I see them in great regards for the wonderful services they are providing to their patients.

  • My tedious and tiring working schedule of my job and meetings was keeping me away even from my daily water intake which I only observed when I was asked to submit a detailed case registration form by the team of AAS Ayurveda. I was following a very bad life style with no focus on my dietary habits though I always thought I have been taking healthy food but seldom I noticed it about its nutritious values. Here, AAS came to my help that helped me to manage my diet, work and even exercising schdule. I got the problem of GERD and acidity for which I started to take anta-acids at my own that provided me some initial relief but not after some days. AAS Ayurveda planned my treatment and dietary regimen along with my daily workout schedule. The plan was very detailed and elaborative that showed its results only in 10 days. A big thanks to the entire team of AAS Ayurveda.
