Hello Mrs Rashmi, removing the uterus or not completely depends on your USG report, hemoglobin status and your tolerance . The size of fibroids and the endometrial analysis are two important factors. Has your gynaec proposed D&C for the same? It is important to analyse all these factors before suggesting anything.

Hello Rashmi, I understand that you are experiencing significant challenges due to fibroids, heavy bleeding, and associated symptoms like anemia and body pain. In Ayurveda, these conditions can be linked to an imbalance in the Pitta and Kapha doshas, often resulting in inflammation and stagnation within the body.
To manage your symptoms and promote overall health, a holistic approach is essential. Firstly, consider dietary modifications that include a balanced intake of iron-rich foods such as leafy greens, lentils, beets, and pomegranates to help address anemia. Avoiding spicy, oily, and heavy foods can also reduce inflammation and ease heavy bleeding.
Herbal remedies can be highly beneficial in your situation. Ashoka (Saraca asoca) is well-known for its ability to support uterine health and manage excessive bleeding. Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) can help regulate hormonal balance and improve reproductive health. Turmeric can also be included for its anti-inflammatory properties.
Incorporating gentle exercises, like walking and specific yoga postures, can help alleviate body and joint pain. Poses such as Virasana (Hero Pose) and Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) can be particularly beneficial for back pain and overall mobility.

Ah, dealing with fibroids can be really tiring and affects everyday life. Before making such a big decisions like removing the uterus, it's good to explore other options, especially natural ones. First off, your symptoms show a pitta imbalance with a touch of vata disturbances — considering the pain involved. Heavy bleeding and the regularity indicate high pitta activity.
Switching gears, let's talk diet. Try to include foods that are cooling and soothing. Think leafy greens (like spinach), fresh veggies, and fruits such as melons or pears. They balance pitta. But avoid spicy, oily, and fried stuff, could actually stir things up! Instead of regular teas or coffee, sipping on coriander or fennel tea can cool things down.
For that heavy bleeding, Ashoka (Saraca asoca) is an excellent herb; known from the classics, it's helpful for managing uterine health. Taking an extract or powder as recommended by an Ayurvedic practitioner may aid in reducing the bleeding. You might want to look into Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) too, to balance and nourish your reproductive system.
Cooling oils like sandalwood or rose essential oil, diluted in a carrier oil, can be massaged gently on your abdomen and knees. Helps with stress and can ease some notable discomfort. Make sure you’re introducing regular Abhyanga—oil massage—into your daily routine with sesame oil to soothe vata-related body pain.
As always, keeping your Agni (digestive fire) strong is crucial. Warm, lightly-cooked meals that are easy to digest, enjoyed at regular times, will keep things in balance. Don't forget yoga: gentle practices focusing on stretching can ease body tension.
Quick note, given your age and symptoms, it’s essential to check in with your doctor to weigh in on your fibroids situation. Ayurveda and modern medicine can work hand-in-hand quite effectively, ensuring safety first. If symptoms intensify, please get medical attention fast—no delay there.
Balance is everything. Start subtle, observe the changes, and trim adjustments as you go along! Take care.
