Abstract

The increasing impact of lifestyle changes has contributed to the development of several challenging diseases, one of which is the infantile uterus. Classical Ayurveda views this as an individual disease entity, often related to yonivyapad (gynecological disorders), such as shandhi, shushka yonivyapad, and garbhashayagat vata. The primary cause is nutritional derangement, which leads to dhatukshaya and ultimately vataprakopa, particularly affecting the apana and vyan vayu and leading to mamsa dhatu kshaya. Infantile uterus is characterized by uterine hypoplasia, often resulting from pubertal failure or hypogonadism. This case study investigates the efficacy of Shatavari and Ashwagandha ksheerpak sevan (milk decoction) in managing infantile uterus. A 16-year-old girl with primary amenorrhea, abdominal pain, and nutritional deficiencies was treated with this therapy. The results, assessed over 8-9 months, showed improvements in menarche, reduced abdominal pain, and weight gain, suggesting the potential effectiveness of Shatavari and Ashwagandha ksheerpak in treating infantile uterus.
