Bulky uterus with endometrial hyperplasia - #3159

Bulky uterus with endometrial hyperplasia is essentially where the uterus is enlarged and the lining becomes too thick, often due to estrogen playing a dominant role without the balancing act from progesterone. From an Ayurvedic perspective, we could say that there might be a kapha or pitta imbalance going on, you know, given the heavy bleeding and such. First, addressing irregular periods and heavy bleeding, it might be helpful to look at herbs like Ashoka (Saraca asoca) and Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus). Ashoka is known for its ability to support uterine health and help with bleeding issues. Shatavari, on the other hand, is great for balancing the female hormones naturally and nourishing the reproductive system. You could consider taking about 1-2 teaspoons of these herbs daily—capsules or a decoction, depending on what's more convenient for you. Diet is another biggie. Favor a diet that's light and easy to digest, as stimulating the 'agni' or digestive fire is key for hormonal balance. Fresh fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins could be helpful, while cutting down on processed foods, sugar, and dairy as they can aggravate kapha and ama (toxins) may be better. Yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) can also play a role, so maybe a few gentle yoga poses like Malasana or Bharadvajasana, focusing on the pelvic region, can help enhance circulation and reduce discomfort. Regarding, if your condition needs long-term management, I'd say, it really depends on how your body responds. Ayurveda can be quite effective, but it may take time and persistence. Keep in mind, though, if symptoms persist or get worse, do check with your doctor quickly as sometimes western treatments might be necessary, safety first and all. Handling this can be quite a journey, so try to be patient with yourself as you find what works best for your body. Natural healing does take time, after all.
