Doctors’ responses
Thanks for sharing your detailed history — it’s really helpful. A 12 cm asymptomatic uterine fibroid (on posterior wall) is large but still manageable, especially since you are not facing heavy bleeding or pain.
However, scanty periods and delayed cycles indicate hormonal imbalance or uterine lining changes caused by the fibroid’s pressure. Since this began only recently, early intervention can help you avoid surgery and manage it naturally.
Basic Investigations to be done:
1. Pelvic Ultrasound (TVS preferred) – to monitor fibroid size, location, and endometrial thickness.
2. CBC – to check for anemia.
3. Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4) – thyroid issues can affect periods.
4. Serum FSH, LH, Estradiol, Progesterone – for hormonal status.
5. Serum Vitamin D & B12 – to rule out other deficiencies.
6. CA-125 (if family history of reproductive cancers) – only as precaution.
Internal medicine:
1.Sukumaram Kashayam 15 ml with 30ml ofwarm water before food twice daily.(For scanty menses, hormonal imbalance).
2.Ashokarishta 15 ml with equal water twice daily after food .(Regulates periods, balances hormones)
3.Kanchanara Guggulu 2 -0-2 twice daily after food. (Reduce abnormal growth)
4.Rajahpravartini Vati 2-0-2 after food with warm water.
Diet & Lifestyle for Shrinking Fibroids
✅ Favour:
Warm, light, easy-to-digest foods
Ginger tea, turmeric, cumin-fennel-coriander infusion
Cow’s ghee (small amount daily)
Steamed vegetables, moong dal, pomegranate, beetroot
❌ Avoid:
Curd/yogurt at night
Red meat, packaged food, cold drinks
Soy products.
Late-night sleep.
Asanas to be practiced daily:
1.Supta baddha konasana
2.Setu bandhasana
3.Malasana
4.Bhujangasana
5.Ushtrasana
May your recovery be quick and your health fully restored.
Please don't hesitate to reach out for further guidance.
With kind regards,
Dr. Sumi

A 12 cm fibroid does require careful attention, even if it's asymptomatic for the most part. The scanty menstrual flow and irregular periods could be a sign of the fibroid affecting your menstrual cycle. In Ayurveda, fibroids are often linked with an imbalance in the Kapha dosha and possibly an aggravated Rakta (blood) and Meda (fat) dhatus. Working on balancing these could he helpful.
First, aim to consume a Kapha-pacifying diet. This means incorporating warm, light, and easily digestible foods. Reduce intake of dairy, sugar, fried, and oily foods that can aggravate Kapha. Spices like turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon may help balance your dosha. Include warm, cooked vegetables and legumes in your meals. Try drinking warm water throughout the day; it aids digestion and helps reduce Kapha accumulation.
For lifestyle, regular physical activity is essential. Engage in moderate exercise for about 30 minutes daily, such as walking, yoga, or swimming. Avoid sedentary lifestyle and stay active as much as possible.
In terms of herbal remedies, Ayurvedic texts frequently mention Ashoka (Saraca asoca) and Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa) for managing menstrual health issues. You can prepare a decoction of these herbs or consult an Ayurvedic practitioner to determine the right dosage for your constitution, as each individual's needs might be different.
Panchakarma therapies, under the guidance of an Ayurvedic doctor, can further assist in detoxifying and balancing the doshas. Treatments like Basti (enema therapy) and Virechana (purgation) can be beneficial, but they should only be undertaken with professional supervision.
Stress management and adequate sleep are also critical, as they influence hormonal balance. Practice meditation or calming breathing exercises to help maintain emotional balance. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider alongside these practices to monitor the condition and adjust treatments as necessary.

HELLO NEHA,
Fibroid is a noncancerous growth in or around uterus. It's made of muscle and fibrous tissue. Your fibroid is located on the posterior wall of your uterus and is 12 cm, which Is large
YOUR CURRENT SYMPTOMS
-asymptomatic= no pain, no pressure, no bleeding
but you've noticed
-missed period(may)
-scanty flow(June and July)
This means the fibroid might be interfering with your hormonal balance or uterine lining, even if you dont feel pain or pressure
TREATMENT GOALS
-shrink the fibroid naturally
-regulate menstruation
- balances hormones especially estrogen
- prevent further growth or complications
-avoid surgery, if safely possible
In Ayurveda, Uterine fibroid is known as "GRANTHI" in Ayurveda(hard,tumor like growth)

HELLO NEHA,
Uterine fibroids also called leiomyomas, are benign tutors that can vary in size and symptoms . While surgery is often recommended for large or symptomatic fibroids, non surgical options including Ayurveda treatment may help manage fibroids, especially if they're asymptomatic, as in your case
CASE SUMMERY
FIBROID SIZE= 12 cm, on posterior uterine wall
SYMPTOMS= none initially , but now scanty periods and missed periods in May
CURRENT TREATMENT= homeopathy-helped initiate period in June
JULY= period came without medicine , but scanty flow
CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE
A 12 cm fibroid is considered large. Even if asymptomatic now, large fibroids can potentially cause
-compression on nearby organs-bladder, rectum
- fertility issues
-heavy bleeding or scanty/irregular cycles
- pain or bloating
AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT
1) INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
-KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with warm water
=scraping, kapha meda hará, anti tumor, lymphatic detox, reduces abnormal growth like fibroids
-PUSHYANUG CHURNA= 5 gm with rice water twice daily in morning and night
= corrects menstrual flow especially for scanty or irregular periods , balances vata and pitta
-ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water twice daily after meals
=regulates menstrual cycle, supports endometrial health, reduces uterine congestion
-CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily with warm water
= supports reproductive organs, reduces fibroids, improves metabolism
-LOHASAVA= 15 ml with equal water after meals twice daily
=helps control excessive uterine growth and balances hormones
2) PANCHAKARMA THERAPIES
these detoxification therapies may be suggested depending on body constitution
-UTTARA BASTI= medicated oil enema through the vaginal route- often recommended for uterine disorders
-VIRECHANA= helps cleanse the liver and balance hormones
-ABHYANGA + SWEDANA= oil massage and steam therapy to improve circulation
3) LIFESTYLE ANND DIET TIPS
AVOID= dairy, red meat, refined sugar, and estrogen rich foods like soy
FAVOUR= fibre rich foods, green leafy vegetables, turmeric, ginger
MANAGE STRESS through yoga, pranayam especially nadi sodhana, bhramari
-Maintain a healthy weight-oestrogen dominance is often associated with fibroids
Although you're asymptomatic , scanty periods and 12 cm fibroid merit regular monitoring with
-pelvic ultrasound every 6 months
- hemoglobin levels
-hormonal profile-FSH,LH,ESTRADIOL etc
THANK YOU
