Effect of Kumari Taila Uttar Basti on fallopian tube blockage

Abstract

The present study was carried out to evaluate the role of Uttar Basti in tubal blockage, in order to establish it as a safer and cost-effective Ayurvedic treatment modality. The criteria for selection of patients and assessment of results were unilateral or bilateral tubal blockage diagnosed in hysterosalpingography (HSG). A total of 16 patients in the reproductive age group were registered for the study, with 62.50% unilateral and 37.50% bilateral tubal blockage. Fifteen patients completed the course of treatment. The patients with an evidence of active infection or chronic diseases were excluded. Kumari Taila was selected for its Vata Kapha Shamaka and Lekhana properties. The dose of Uttar Basti was 5 ml with duration of two consecutive cycles (six days of Uttar Basti in each cycle with an interval of three days in between). Uttar Basti was administered, after cessation of menstruation, to the screened patients, through hematological, urinary, and serological (HIV, VDRL, HBsAg) investigations. The tubal blockage was removed in 80% of the patients, and 40% of the patients had conceived within the follow-up period of two months. The results suggest that Uttar Basti is a highly significant treatment modality for tubal blockage, with no apparent complications.

“…The results were 0.25%, 1.454%, 0.522%, 9.986 weight per weight, 192.95 weight per weight, and 92.50 weight per weight, respectively, for the physicochemical parameters of loss on drying, refractive index, specific gravity, acid value, saponification value, and iodine value. 11 On her first menstrual cycle, her medication was started for six days with a threeday gap. After the treatment, we performed a hysterosalpingogram and laparoscopy, and we observed that around 80% of the cornual block was cured.…”
