Dr. Shridevi Reddi* and Dr. Aishwarya Sajjan

Abstract

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop within the ovaries, often without symptoms. A haemorrhagic ovarian cyst, which involves internal bleeding, commonly arises from the ovulatory process. Cysts larger than 5 cm are considered significant, and in rare cases, rupture may cause internal bleeding, requiring surgical intervention. These cysts are frequently observed in routine gynecological practice and often resolve without treatment. Hormonal imbalances influenced by the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, along with lifestyle and dietary factors, can contribute to cyst development. This article presents a case of a 34-year-old woman diagnosed with a left-sided haemorrhagic ovarian cyst successfully managed through Ayurvedic treatment. The approach emphasized holistic management by addressing the root cause and preventing recurrence. The treatment included Ayurvedic formulations such as Agnitundi Vati, Shivagutika, Varunadi Kashaya, Kanchanara Guggulu, and Kulattadi Kashaya. These interventions provided noticeable symptomatic relief, particularly in relation to menstrual discomfort. The case is evaluated using Ayurvedic principles, drawing correlations with conditions like Yonivyapad, Granthi, and Arbuda.
