One of the lesser-known complications of PCOS is its association with tubal infertility, where the fallopian tubes are affected either directly or indirectly due to chronic hormonal disruptions [1] Tubal infertility, resulting from conditions like tubal blockages or dysfunction, poses significant challenges to conception, even in the absence of ovarian abnormalities commonly associated with PCOS. Understanding relation between PCOS and tubal factors is crucial in managing infertility in affected individuals, as it demands a multifaceted approach to treatment [2] Infertility impacts approximately 1 in 6 people globally of reproductive age, with consistent prevalence across diverse economic settings. This widespread health concern affects about 17.5% of adults worldwide [3] In India, infertility is estimated to affect 10% to 15% of the A B S T R A C T Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, characterized by hormonal imbalances that cause irregular menstruation and ovarian cysts. A significant but often overlooked complication of PCOS is its association with tubal infertility, resulting from issues such as tubal blockages or dysfunctions, making conception more challenging. Infertility affects roughly 1 in 6 people globally, with about 70% of women with PCOS experiencing infertility, and tubal factor infertility accounting for 25-35% of female infertility cases. This case study examines the management of tubal blockage and PCOS through Ayurvedic treatments. A 36-year-old married woman with a history of PCOS reports no significant issues over the past six years of marriage, with irregular menstrual cycles. Clinical findings from a USG revealed bilateral polycystic ovaries, and an HSG indicated a blockage in the right fallopian tube. This infertility case was treated with a combination of Shodhana and Shamana Chikitsa was given to resolve the underlying Samprapthi from 10/7/2022 to 26/7/2023. After 12 months of treatment, the tubal blockage was resolved, PCOS had decreased, and epileptic attacks were reduced. Additionally, the absence of Reidel's lobe of the liver was noted, and the fatty liver decreased from Grade II to Grade I. The patient received a positive urine pregnancy test result on July 26, 2023, and gave birth on June 6, 2024. In this instance, Ayurveda demonstrated its reliability in treating infertility and PCOS, offering effective and holistic methods for managing these conditions.

Among women with PCOS, infertility affects roughly 70%, while tubal factor infertility accounts for 25-35% of female infertility cases [4] Overall, PCOS is a major public health concern due to its impact on fertility and the associated long-term health complications. Addressing this condition requires awareness, proper diagnosis, and effective management strategies tailored to different populations. In this case study, tubal blockage and PCOS were managed through treatment strategies that included Shodhana (cleansing therapies), a combination of Shamana Aushadhi (palliative medications), and the use of some Ekamoolika Dravyas (single herbs). In Ayurveda, infertility is explained as Vandhyatva . Susrutha explained factors responsible for successful pregnancy ( Garbha Sambhava Samagri ) in detail. They are Rithu , Kshetram , Ambu , and Beejam . Any abnormality in any of these four can lead to infertility. Rithu stands for the fertile period in the cycle. Kshetram represents healthy reproductive organs. Ambu represents proper nutrition after fertilization. It can be correlated with corpus luteal function up to the establishment of the placenta and then onwards placental function. Beejam stands for healthy ovum and sperms [5] Acharya Charaka opines that Soumanasyam (peaceful mind) is the best remedy for getting a progeny [6] So psychological factors are also important in conception. Arunadatta comments ‘ Dimbamsyat Drakta Mamsasya Prasaadaadaantra Sambhava ’. The ovary is taken as Kosthnga by the name Dimba or Dimbham , formed from Rakta and Mamsa [7] PCOS symptoms can be correlated with conditions like Dimba Roga , Jatiharini , Vataja Artava Dusthi , Artava Kshaya , Ksheenartava , etc. In this case study, tubal blockage and PCOS were managed through treatment strategies that included Shodhana (cleansing therapies), a combination of Shamana Aushadhi (palliative medications), and the use of some Ekamoolika Dravyas (single herbs).

These formulations predominantly feature Katu-Tikta-Kashaya Rasa, Ushna Virya, and Katu Vipaka, with common actions of Kapha- Medohara and Lekhaniya Karma . Research has shown that these formulations can regulate hormonal levels and enhance menstrual regularity. Additionally, their anti-inflammatory properties aid in reducing inflammation, improving insulin resistance in PCOS by boosting metabolism [9] They also help in lowering cholesterol levels, which is beneficial for women with PCOS who often struggle with lipid metabolism and obesity [10] The detoxifying effects can help clear blockages in the reproductive organs, potentially boosting fertility [4] Furthermore, the antioxidants in these formulations reduce oxidative stress and are associated with improved fertility outcomes [11] Additionally, Sukumara Kashaya helps with PCOS and infertility by regularizing menstrual cycles, which improves ovulation and boosts fertility [12] It also enhances blood circulation to the reproductive organs, providing better nourishment, reducing period cramps, and improving overall reproductive health [13] Mahakalyanaka Ghritha was administered as both Shodhana and Shamana Aushadi due to its effectiveness in treating both Vandhyatw a (infertility) and Apsmara (epilepsy) [14] It contributed to reducing epileptic attacks, alleviating anxiety and fear, and enhancing fertility. Research indicates that it has neuroprotective effects, providing a calming and stabilizing impact on the nervous system, and improves fertility by enhancing the quality of reproductive tissues and overall reproductive function [15] Shodhana procedures like Udvartana and Vamana can effectively balance hormonal levels and alleviate symptoms of PMS and PCOS by improving insulin resistance, boosting metabolism, managing weight, and enhancing overall reproductive health [16] These therapies address tubal blockages through Sroto Shodana, Deha and Kshetra Shodhana , and strengthening the Dhatus and Beeja [17] Kashyapa states that Akarmanya Beeja , which is associated with anovulation, is best treated with Virechana . He quotes "Beejam Bhavathi Karmukam ," meaning that Virechana enhances effectiveness or trajectory outcome of the action of the Beeja (sperm and ovum). As a result, it positively affects germ cells and improves their quality [18] Yastimadhu: (Shonithasthapana, Medhya Rasayana) was given in the form of Ksheerapaaka . Yastimadhu is known for its adaptogenic properties, which help in balancing hormones [19] It has phytoestrogens that can mimic the action of estrogen, thus potentially aiding in the regulation of menstrual cycles and improving ovulation and help to ease symptoms of PMS and PCOS. It helps in maintaining a healthy endometrial lining, which is essential for implantation and successful pregnancy [20] Shatavari: (Vrushya, Rasayana). Shatavari is renowned for its uterine tonic properties. It strengthens the uterine muscles and enhances the endometrial lining, which is crucial for implantation and sustaining pregnancy [21] The mucilage in Shatavari tones and protects the mucous membranes of the cervix, helping it produce sufficient mucus to facilitate sperm and egg fertilization [22] Bhrami: (Prajasthapana, Medhya Rasayana) was given in the form Ghritha and Taila Brahmi rich in antioxidants like bacosides supports reproductive health by reducing oxidative damage and alleviating psychological stress, which in turn decreases oxidative stress (OS). It helps regulate the hypothalamicpituitary-ovarian axis and supports ovulation [23] Initially, Shamana Aushadis used before and after Vamana, with Lekhaniya properties, helped reduce weight, leading to a decrease in the size and number of cysts, alleviation of inflammation in the reproductive organs, and clearance of blockages in the fallopian tubes. After Virechana, Rasayana Dravyas , known for their nourishing qualities, were chosen to support the maintenance of the endometrial lining, essential for implantation and successful pregnancy. Additionally, these Dravyas , with their Rasayana and Medhya effects, also contributed to a reduction in epileptic episodes.

[Summary: This page continues discussing the benefits of Shodhana procedures like Udvartana and Vamana, which balance hormones and alleviate PMS/PCOS symptoms. Virechana enhances the effectiveness of germ cells. Yastimadhu and Shatavari were used for their adaptogenic and uterine tonic properties. Bhrami supports reproductive health by reducing oxidative damage and stress.]

Ayurvedic management of Tubal Block Infertility ISSN: 2456-3110 CASE REPORT July 2024 Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences | July 2024 | Vol. 9 | Issue 7 299 CONCLUSION Treating the present case with necessary Shodana (purification therapies), along with Ekamoolika Dravyas (single-herb formulations), and incorporating counselling and lifestyle modifications facilitated Samprapti-Vighatana (breaking the pathogenesis) by promoting Aartavajanana (enhancement of menstrual function), Sroto Suddhi (purification of channels), Kshetra Suddhi (purification of the reproductive organs), and Prajasthapana (promoting fertility).Regular monitoring and patient adherence to the treatment plan were essential for achieving successful outcomes. Tailoring treatments according to the patient's progress ensured effective therapy.
