Pyosalpinx - #3447

Oh, that sounds really tough… dealing with uterine fibroids, pyosalpinx, and PCOS all together can feel overwhelming especially with trying to conceive for 10 years. I’m really sorry you’re going through this, and that pain in the groin must be adding to the distress.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, it sounds like there’s an imbalance in the doshas, particularly Kapha and Vata, which can contribute to these reproductive health issues. The pain on your left side hints at a potential blockage or tension in the body that might need addressing.

For women with fibroids and PCOS, herbs like Ashoka (good ol’ Saraca indica) and Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) can be quite helpful. They’re known to support reproductive health by balancing hormonal levels and promoting healthy uterine function. You can prepare a decoction with Ashoka bark or consider taking Shatavari churna with warm water, about a teaspoon twice daily but better consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for a proper dosage fitting your body type.

Diet-wise, try keeping warm and cooked foods in your meals. Avoid cold and raw items as they can aggravate Vata and Kapha doshas. Ginger tea, with a touch of turmeric, can help improve digestion and reduce inflammation, having it after meals might soothe some low abdominal pain too.

Regular Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame oil is worth trying, particularly over the abdomen – this can relieve Vata imbalance. Be gentle though, particularly around any areas that feel tender or sore.

In terms of yoga, gentle poses like Supta Baddha Konasana (reclining bound angle pose) or Viparita Karani (legs up the wall) can support pelvic circulation and release tension, easing some discomfort in that area.

Given the complexity of your symptoms, staying in touch with your healthcare provider is crucial. Pyosalpinx might need prompt medical attention and possibly surgical intervention, so don’t skip treatments or follow-ups.

Try reducing stress by incorporating some regular breathing practices like Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing). It’s calming and can stabilize emotional and physical wellbeing.

I know this all sounds like a lot, but addressing these issues step by step and finding a balance between Ayurvedic care and conventional medicine might open better pathways to managing the pain and supporting reproductive health. Keep communicating with your healthcare providers and give yourself lots of kindness and patience through this journey.
