Abstract:

Background:

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder marked by irregular menstruation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries. Conventional treatments often provide limited relief. This case explores the effect of Siddha holistic therapy in a 39-year-old woman with irregular cycles, right ovarian cyst, mild constipation, and weight gain.

Case Presentation:

The patient had a 4-month history of irregular periods, 5 kg weight gain, and neck pigmentation. Ultrasound showed a right ovarian cyst. Lab results were normal, and prior hormone therapy offered minimal relief.

Treatment and Outcome:

The Siddha regimen included initial detoxification with Sukku Thylam oil bath and Aagasthiyar Kolambu purgation, followed by internal medicines like Nandhi Melugu, Kalarchi Tablets, Aadhuthedapalai Thylam, Neermulikudineer, and Manduraadaikasayam for 45 days. A tailored diet and yoga were also advised. Constipation resolved in 2 days; by 3 months, menstrual cycles normalized and weight reduced. After 8 months, fatigue and pigmentation improved significantly.

Conclusion:

Siddha therapy showed promising results in managing PCOS symptoms and improving overall well-being, offering a viable alternative for patients unresponsive to conventional treatment.
