Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas or myomas, are non cancerous growths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus. Many women between 25 to 50 years experience fibroids due to hormonal imbalance or genetic factors. The size of fibroids can vary from small nodules to large masses that distort the uterus and cause complications.
Common Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids
Causes and Risk Factors
Ayurveda emphasizes the hormonal and metabolic imbalances (especially Vata–Kapha dosha aggravation) that lead to Garbhashaya Granthi – the Ayurvedic term for uterine fibroids.
According to Ayurveda, uterine fibroids are the result of dosha imbalance and improper tissue metabolism (dhatvagni mandya). The accumulation of toxins (ama) and vitiation of Kapha dosha causes growth in uterine tissues. The Ayurvedic treatment aims to balance doshas, detoxify the body, and restore hormonal harmony.
