Abstract

Bilateral tubal block (BTB) is a leading cause of female infertility, characterized by obstruction of both fallopian tubes, preventing the passage of the egg to the uterus.[1] A common cause of BTB is pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which leads to inflammation, scarring, and adhesions in the fallopian tubes. This case study focuses on a 30- year-old female patient diagnosed with bilateral tubal block who presented with a history of difficulty conceiving for over two years. After undergoing diagnostic procedures, including hysterosalpingography (HSG), the patient was confirmed to have bilateral tubal obstruction.[2] The conventional approach to managing BTB often includes surgical intervention such as tubal cannulation or in vitro fertilization (IVF).[1] However, the patient opted for a Ayurvedic treatment plan, which included prescribed formulations of Gynoveda- Somha, Jeehv, and Iron Folic Acid aimed at improving tubal patency, providing anti-inflammatory, and hormonal-balancing properties. After three months of Ayurvedic treatment, a follow-up HSG demonstrated a significant improvement in tubal patency, with unblocking of one fallopian tube. Subsequently, the patient successfully conceived and delivered a healthy baby. This case illustrates the potential of Ayurvedic medicine as a promising alternative to conventional fertility interventions in treating infertility due to bilateral tubal blocks.
