🌸 Uterine Prolapse: An Ayurvedic Perspective and Management at Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital

📖 Introduction

Uterine Prolapse, known as Garbhashaya Bhramsha in Ayurveda, is a condition where the uterus descends from its normal position into the vaginal canal due to weakening of pelvic floor muscles and ligaments. It can significantly affect a woman’s comfort, mobility, and overall quality of life.

Ayurveda offers a holistic and restorative approach that aims to strengthen the pelvic floor, correct doshic imbalances, and rejuvenate reproductive health naturally.

🌿 Ayurvedic Perspective

In Ayurveda, Garbhashaya Bhramsha is primarily associated with an aggravation of Vata dosha, particularly Apana Vata, which governs the downward movement of energy in the body.

Key Doshic Imbalances:

• Aggravated Vata:

  • Causes weakening of Mamsa (muscle) and Snayu (ligament) tissues

  • Leads to downward displacement of uterus and pelvic organs

  • Disturbs Apana Vata, resulting in prolapse and associated symptoms

• Secondary Factors:

  • Dhatu Kshaya: Age-related tissue depletion

  • Agni Mandya: Poor digestion impairs nutrient absorption

  • Ama Accumulation: Toxin buildup weakens local tissue resistance

  • Ati Prasava: Multiple or complicated childbirths

  • Ati Bharavahana: Repeated heavy lifting or chronic straining

  • Manasika Karana: Emotional distress and mental fatigue

📌 Common Causes

• Repeated or difficult vaginal deliveries

• Aging and natural weakening of pelvic support structures

• Chronic constipation, coughing, or obesity

• Surgical history (e.g., hysterectomy)

• Genetic predisposition to weak connective tissue

❗ Symptoms of Uterine Prolapse

• Pelvic pressure or heaviness

• Feeling of something descending or bulging in the vaginal canal

• Lower back pain

• Painful intercourse (dyspareunia)

• Frequent urination or urinary incontinence

• Constipation or bowel difficulty

• Vaginal discharge or bleeding

• Visible prolapse from the vaginal opening
