Endometriosis is a condition where tissue resembling the uterine lining (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, leading to pain, menstrual irregularities, and infertility. While modern medicine describes it anatomically and surgically, Ayurveda offers a deeper insight into the root causes and imbalances behind this condition.
In Ayurveda, endometriosis is understood as a disorder caused by an imbalance in Vata dosha, particularly Apana Vata, which governs the downward movement in the pelvic region—responsible for menstruation, elimination, and reproduction.
It is also associated with disturbances in:
This condition may be referred to as a form of "Yoni Vyapad" (disorders of the female reproductive system), or in some cases, "Granthi" (abnormal growths or cysts).
These factors disturb the balance of doshas, particularly Vata, leading to impaired functioning of the reproductive system and the development of endometrial tissue outside its normal location.
