HELLO,
Your wife has a reducible umbilical hernia (14*14 mm defect), which means -a small gap has formed in the muscle wall around her bellybutton -some fatty tissue (omentum) is bulging out through that weak spot. -It can be pushed back inside (that’s why it’s called "reducible) -Along with this, she has pelvic adhesions, adenomyosis (uterine muscle thickening), and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)- which all suggest long term vata-pitta imbalance and weakness of pelvic tissues
In plain terms, her abdominal and pelvic tissues have become weak, dry, and less elastic. The pressure inside the belly (from normal breathing, digestion etc) pushes on that weak spot, forming the nernia
In Ayurveda, this is considered a Vata-dominant disorder- especially due to aggravation of Apana vata (the energy that controls the lower abdomen and elimination)
Vata becomes aggravated by -irregular eating habits, constipation, dryness -post pregnancy weakness -excess strain, lifting weights, or sudden jerks -emotioal stress and overwork -long standing digestio problems
Overtime, weak muscles + increased internal pressure= hernia
TREATMENT GOALS Ayurvedic treatment does to “close” the hernial hole, but it aims to -strengthen abdominal muscles and connective tissues -balance vata to prevent worsening -improve digestion and metabolism -relieve pain , bloating, and constipation -improve pelvic circulation and support uterine health -prepare the body for surgery
EXTERNAL TREATMENT
1) OIL MASSAGE= KSHEERBALA TAILA -warm the oil slightly -apply gently around the abdomen , waist, and lower back in circular motions (avoid pressing directly on the hernia) -Duration= 10-15 min, once daily =nourishes muscles, pacifies vata, reduces pain, improves circulation
2) WARM FOMENTATION -after massage, apply a warm towel or heating pad for 5 min on the abdomen -do not use intense heat, mild warmth is enough =helps the oil penetrate deeper and relieves muscle stiffness
3) HERBAL PASTE -triphala churna + dashmoola kwatha paste can be applied warm over the area for 15 min then wiped off =this reduces mild inflammation and discomfort
INTERNAL TREATMENT
1) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp before meals with lukewarm water =improves digestion, reduces gas, balance vata
2) TRIKATU CHURNA= 1/4 tsp with honey after meals =stimulates metabolism
3) SUKUMARA GHRITA = 1 tsp morning empty stomach with warm water = nourishes, mild laxative, pacifies apana vata
4) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA = 40 ml twice daily after meals = anti inflammatory, Balances Vata-pitta
5) TRIPHALA GUGGULU= 1 ab twice daily after meals =detoxifies, strengthens muscle and connective tissue
6) AGNITUNDI VATI= 1 tab twice daily before meals =improves digestion, reduces bloating
DURATION= 6-8 weeks
DIET AND LIFESTYLE RECOMMENDATIONS -warm freshly cooked meals -ghee, moong dal, rice gruel ,light khichdi -cooked vegetables- bottle gourd, ridge gourd, ash gourd, carrots -cow’s ghee 1 tsp/day- lubricates and nourishes vata -herbal teas= cumin-fennel-ajwain, ginger water -daily soft bowel movement- use triphala at bedtime
AVOID -constipation or straining at stools -lifting heavy objects, coughing without support or prolonged standing -cold drinks, raw salads, carbonated beverages -fried , fermented, junk or stale food -daytime sleeping and late night eating
YOGA ASANAS -setu badhasana -pawamuktasaa -supta baddha konasana -tadasana
AVOID= strong abdominal pressure poses like dhanurasana, chakrasana or crunches
PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= 10mi/day- Balances Vata and calms nerves -Bhramari= 5 min/day0 reduces stress, helps pelvic circulation -Avoid kapalbhati or bhastrika
HOME REMEDIES -warm castor oil pack= apply over the abdomen not on hernia directly for 15 min- helps relieve pain and vata -Triphala powder= prevents constipation 1 tsp at bedtime -cumin-fennel-ginger tea= aids digestion and reduces bloating -coriander seed water-cooling for associated PID/ adenomyosis
Ayurveda cannot "push the hernia back permanently " or close the defect, but it can strengthen abdominal muscles, improve digestion and prevent it from worsening
Surgery remains the definitive cure, especially of the hernia increase in size or become painful
Ayurveda is most effective here as a supportive and preventive therapy- to improve quality of life, manage associated uterine issues, and strengthen the core
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU

If your wife are asymptomatic such as no such pain and discomfort so take ayurvedic medication:-
SARWAKALP KWATH=200gm KAYAKALP KWATH=100gm…MIX BOTH AND TAKE 1 TSP BOIL WITH 200ML OF WATER TILL REDUCES 100 ML STRAIN AND TAKE EMPTY STOMACH TWICE DAILY…
AVIPATIKAR CHURNA=100GM KAMDUDHA RAS 20GM JHAR MOHRA PISTI=10GM MUKTA PISTI=4GM PRAWAL PANCHAMRIT 10GM…MIX ALL AND TAKE 1=1 TSP EMPTY STOMACH TWICE DAILY
KUMARIASVA PUNARNAWARIST=2=2TSP EACH WITH SAME AMOUNT OF WATER AFTER MEALS TWICE DAILY…
WALNUT OIL MIX WITH CASTOR OIL…MASSAGE ON UMBILICAL REGION…
IF SHE HAS SEVERE PAIN AND DISCOMFORT.PLEASE GO FOR SURGERY…
Your wife’s condition shows reducible umbilical hernia along with pelvic adhesions focal adenomyosis, and PID which means there are both structural and inflammatory issues involved Trikatu Churna - 25 grams Pravala Pishti - 10 grams Godanti Bhasma - 10 grams Mix all the medicines and make 60 doses. Take each dose half-an-hour before breakfast and dinner with water or honey. Kanchnar Guggulu - Vridhivadhika Vati - Take 1 tablets from each in the morning and evening after meals with lukewarm water. Avoid heavy lifting constipation Avoid gas forming foods Encourage gentle yoga posture like vajrasana If there is sev pain n if it’s irreducible or vomiting is there take immediate surgical opinion
Ayurvedic medicine will not be able to heal the orifice, it will strengthen the walls further preventing bigger hole. Take Vriddhivadhika vati 1-0-1 Kanchanar guggul 1-0-1 Both after food with water Triphala 0-0-2 at bedtime with water Avoid straining of stool Lifting of heavy weight. Wear umbilical hernia waist belt during the day.
It is not possible to cure hernia without surgical intervention as it is a change in the structure where the muscle loosens up and the intestines peep in from the muscle.
Even though there are no symptoms but if it worsens all of a sudden it can cost life so better go for surgery
Umbilicus hernia is a issue where due to increased pressure in abdomen along with weaken abdominal muscles cause protrusion of the abdominal content outside the abdomen through the small orifice For this the main solution is strength the abdominal muscles through some yogasanas We can’t directly treat hernia in ayurveda but through some procedures pressure in the abdomen can be reduced so for that u can start with Avipattikara churna half teaspoon with warm water twice a day after food Srigopala tailam application over the protruded area Yogasana like Pavanamuktasana Tadasana Setubandhan asana Vajrasana These all may give only some relief So for permanent cure it is better to opt for surgery only
Kindly go for surgery. There is no alternative available till now for the same.
