Abstract
Uterine polyps are growths attached to the inner walls of uterus that extend into the cavity. Although the exact cause of the overgrowth of the endometrial mucosa i.e. uterine polyp is unknown but hormonal factors appear to play a major role. Uterine polyps are estrogen sensitive. They respond the circulatory estrogen by growing in size. It commonly occurs in women > 40years. The sign and symptoms include irregular menstrual bleeding like having frequent, unpredictable periods of variable length and heaviness, bleeding between menstrual periods and excessively heavy menstrual periods and also vaginal white discharge. All these symptoms and signs related to uterine polyps have a vast opportunity to study them treatment wise. The treatment offered by Modern science is variable according to severity of the disease and age of the patient. Polypectomy and Hysterectomy are the choice of the treatment of most of the gynecologists. Whichever method is used, polyps are usually treated under general anesthesia in Modern science. In this case study, 42 year female was diagnosed as having uterine polyp. In Ayurveda it resembles with Yonyarsha which occurs due to vitiated rakta and mansa of yoni, producing umbrella shaped muscular sprouts. This patient was treated with Kanchanar guggulu as aabhyantar Chikitsa which has property to destroy tumor growth (granthi- arbuda nashaka) and considerable improvement was observed in the symptoms after completion of the treatment. Kanchanar guggulu can help uterine polyp conditions a great deal and can focus light on clinical aspect of uterine polyp.
