Abstract

God created women with the ability to bear and bring new generations into the world. As a result, women's health has long been a top priority. Women are susceptible to a variety of disorders, the majority of which affect their reproductive systems. Some of these disorders may interfere with her womanhood, while others may result in lifethreatening conditions if not addressed properly. One of these is endometriosis. Endometriosis is a perplexing and fascinating benign gynecological condition characterized by the implantation of functional endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity. The prevalence is approximately 10%. It is an estrogen-dependent syndrome, therefore it worsens with high estrogen levels in the body, and it reverses during pregnancy and after menopause. The patient is experiencing acute discomfort, which may be steadily intensifying. This ectopic endometrial tissue behaves like normal endometrial tissue, bleeding every month. This blood may engorge and produce a chocolate cyst, which may rupture as well. Endometriosis, according to Ayurveda, is similar to "Vyana Avruta Apana Vata" and must be treated as such. Amachikitsa, Vyana Avruta Apana Vata Chikitsa, and Samana treatments are some of the management ideas. Lifestyle and food changes should also be urged, as their influence in the development of any disease cannot be overlooked.
