AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF ENDOMETRIAL FACTOR OF INFERTILITY: CASE REPORT Authors: Kiran K And Asokan V*
ABSTRACT
Uterine causes of infertility contribute to about 5 to 10% of cases. A fairly normal uterine
cavity and endometrial lining are necessary in order to conceive and maintain normal
pregnancy. Low endometrial thickness is one of the most challenging factor, even artificial
reproductive techniques (ART) like IVF fails if the endometrium is not supportive for proper
implantation resulting in either implantation failure or early pregnancy loss. In the present
case a 24 year female presented with primary infertility due to thin endometrium was
managed with ayurveda. The study was done to evaluate the role of sthanika and shamana
chikitsa i.e.; yoni pichu with phalakalyana ghrita along with oral use of baladi vati for two
consecutive menstrual cycles. After completing two courses of treatment significant
improvement (CET-3mm to 9.2 mm)- was noticed as per Applebaum’s USSR (Uterine
Scoring System For Reproduction-Total Score-10 to 19) criteriae with enhancement of the
endometrial thickness. The treatment protocol was agnideepana, vata-shamana,
dhatuposhana as infertility due to thin endometrium may be considered as dhatukshaya
vandhya. There were no adverse effect found during the course of therapy.
