Having a baby is one of the most substantial joys a woman can experience because the tiniest feet make the biggest imprints in our hearts. Endometriosis is one such disorder which makes a woman infertile in most cases and along with causing physical abnormalities, it can affect the person mentally as well. Ayurveda provides an effective and safe treatment for this disorder.
The female reproductive system is a complex system that does a lot of arduous work. It comprises of parts which are; the ovaries, Fallopian tubes, Uterus, Cervix and Vagina. It helps to carry the egg/ ova to the place of fertilization but if there is no fertilization then the lining of uterus sheds every month in the form of menstrual bleeding. Also, this system produces female sex hormones which help in maintaining the reproductive series. Female reproductive health is important to maintain the entire health of a woman and her potential children.
Endometriosis is an ailment which is extremely painful. The lining which sheds every month is known as endometrium but when this lining is found outside the uterus usually on the ovaries, peripheral surface of the uterus, bladder, vagina, and cervix. It is very rarely found in the lungs, thighs and arms. This tissue evolves into an abnormal growth. The menstrual blood is expelled out through the vagina but the blood shed from these abnormal growths have no way of being eradicated from the body. This causes internal bleeding, inflammation which as a result causes pain, bowel irregularities, infertility etc. It most commonly affects women in their reproductive years and it is an uncommon postmenopausal disorder. In Ayurveda, all disorders are considered to be a result of vitiated Doshas. The Ayurvedic treatment for endometriosis helps in balancing the doshas which as a result cures the disorder.
