Summary:
Yes. In carefully selected patients, Ayurveda may help reduce symptoms associated with uterine fibroids such as excessive menstrual bleeding, weakness, low haemoglobin and hair fall by addressing the underlying imbalance rather than treating each symptom separately.
At Tatva Ayurved Hospital, Calicut, we treated a 44-year-old woman who had been suffering from heavy menstrual bleeding for one year due to multiple intramural uterine fibroids. Despite receiving conventional treatment earlier, she continued to experience excessive bleeding, severe abdominal pain, generalized weakness and significant hair fall before seeking Ayurvedic care.
Following six months of personalized Ayurvedic treatment, she experienced:
Yes. Many women assume hair fall is a scalp problem. In reality, chronic heavy menstrual bleeding can lead to iron deficiency, reduced haemoglobin, fatigue and poor nourishment to hair follicles. When excessive blood loss continues month after month, women often notice:
Treating the hair without addressing the underlying menstrual problem often provides only temporary relief.
A 44-year-old woman visited Tatva Ayurved Hospital Calicut after suffering for nearly one year with persistent health issues. She reported:
Investigations had revealed multiple intramural fibroids, and although she had previously undergone conventional treatment, she did not obtain satisfactory relief and therefore sought Ayurvedic care.
After a detailed Ayurvedic consultation—including assessment of history, examination and Ashtasthana Pariksha—the condition was diagnosed as Asrigdhara, a classical Ayurvedic disorder characterized by excessive menstrual bleeding. The clinical assessment noted involvement of Apana Vayu, Rasa and Rakta Dhatu, with Vishamagni and disturbance of the Rasavaha and Raktavaha Srotas. Ayurveda aims to identify why bleeding is excessive rather than focusing only on stopping it.
One of the important lessons from this case is that the patient's hair fall was not treated as an isolated cosmetic concern. According to Ayurveda, chronic excessive bleeding can reduce the nourishment available to body tissues. When Rakta Dhatu and Rasa Dhatu become depleted, hair follicles may not receive adequate nutrition, contributing to increased hair shedding.
This integrated understanding allows Ayurvedic physicians to design treatment that addresses both menstrual health and hair health together.
The patient received individualized Ayurvedic treatment for six months as an outpatient. External therapies were not part of this case; management relied on internal Ayurvedic medicines selected according to her diagnosis and clinical assessment. These included Drakshadi Kashayam, Dhanwantharam Gulika, Trayanthyadi Kashayam, Kanchanara Guggulu, Haem Plus Syrup, Guluchyadi Kashayam, Cap Point and Fibrocid Capsules.
Treatment goals included:
