Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
An ovarian cyst is a health condition becoming very common now a day. When internal haemorrhage occurs into functional cysts of the ovary it is called a haemorrhagic ovarian cyst. This occurs most commonly into a corpus luteal cyst, and less often in a follicular cyst. In India, the incidence is about 7% of women have a ovarian cyst at some point in their lives and out of all ovarian cysts 13.7 % are said to be haemorrhagic cyst. A 42 year old female patient with haemorrhagic ovarian cysts came for Siddha treatment. The patient is pitta prakriti and diagnosed askarupasayakatti[1] as per Siddha. The base line hormone assays for LH, FHS, testosterone and fasting insulin were found within normal limits.The initial treatment with Agasthiyarkuzhambu for 1 day was administrated to regularize appetite and bowel movement. The main course of treatment included Sangadravagam and Sombutheeneer in the recommended dose as per Siddha pharmacopeia for 3 months. After the 3 months, an ultrasound study with tras-vaginal proof was found normal. Sangadravagam with sombutheeneer had the anti- spasmodic activity in our siddha literature. Hence Sangadravagam along with Sombutheeneer may have a role in curing haemorrhagic ovarian cysts. Further study is recommended
