ABSTRACT
Over the few decades man has literally conquered the "Everest" of
advanced Technology. However still the indicator of prosperity and
happiness of any community is judged by its health index and not
merely by its materialistic advancement. Furthermore the overall
health index of any community is governed by the health of the women
in that community, Thus special attention should be provided to
maintain a healthy womanhood. But in daily medical practice varied
problems are seen in woman like…
Irregular menstrual cycle.
PCOS.
PID.

Among these varied problems Uterine Fibroid is not only the commonest benign tumour but
also is the commonest benign solid tumour in female. Now a days due to life style
modification the prevalence of fibroid is getting more. It has been estimated that at least 20%
of women at the age of 30 have got fibroid in their wombs. Fortunately most of them remain
asymptomatic. But those are symptomatic they need special attention because they hamper
daily activity of the woman. The prevalence is highest between 35-45years. Acording to
Ayurveda Uterine Fibroid is considered as Garbhashayasthit Arbud and due to an imbalance
of Dosha. This disorder involving Kapha, Meda.,Mamsa, Ambuvasotas etc. is due to
Kapha,Meda blocking Vata and Pitta hence movement is obstructed and transforming
process suppress. Ayurveda suggests it as apangat disorder that is involving vatadosha
because gynecological disorder are mainly due to vatadosha. In Ayurveda Acharya Sushrut
