Abstract

Hydrosalpinx, the pathological distension of the fallopian tube with fluid, is a common contributor to tubal-factor infertility. It is often a sequel of infections like pelvic inflammatory disease, genital tuberculosis, endometriosis, or prior pelvic surgeries. In this case study, we report the successful Ayurvedic management of a 29-year-old woman with a history of childhood tuberculosis and a diagnosis of bilateral hydrosalpinx, who presented with primary infertility. A personalized Ayurvedic treatment protocol was administered. Remarkable clinical improvement and resolution of hydrosalpinx were confirmed through imaging, and the patient conceived naturally after three months of therapy. This case highlights the potential of classical Ayurvedic formulations in treating tubo-peritoneal infertility noninvasively.
