Ayurvedic Uterine Fibroid Treatment in Chennai
At Shree Kriyas Ayurveda Hospitals on OMR, Chennai, we offer Ayurvedic uterine fibroid treatment that supports your whole body, not just the symptoms. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the muscle wall of the uterus (womb). They are very common in women of reproductive age, and many cause no symptoms at all.
Are you dealing with heavy periods, pelvic pain or a constant feeling of pressure in your lower abdomen? These can be signs of uterine fibroids. At Shree Kriyas Ayurveda Hospitals in Chennai, we understand how fibroids can affect your energy, comfort and daily life.
Our experienced Ayurvedic doctors look beyond the symptoms to the imbalances behind them, and create a personalized plan of herbal medicines, therapies, diet and lifestyle care. Uterine fibroid treatment in Ayurveda aims to ease symptoms such as heavy bleeding and pelvic pain and to support your overall hormonal balance.
Large or fast-growing fibroids, or very heavy bleeding, also need assessment by a gynaecologist, and our care can be given alongside your gynaecologist’s treatment.
Understanding the Roots: What Contributes to Uterine Fibroids?
While the exact reasons for the development of uterine fibroids are not fully understood, research points towards a combination of factors playing a crucial role:
The Influence of Hormones: The hormones estrogen and progesterone, which are vital in regulating the menstrual cycle and preparing the uterine lining, are believed to stimulate the growth of uterine fibroids. Fluctuations in these hormone levels throughout a woman’s life may contribute to their development and growth.
The Role of Genetics: There is evidence to suggest that genetic predispositions can make some women more susceptible to developing uterine fibroids. If there is a family history of fibroids, the likelihood of developing them may be higher. Genetic changes within the cells of the uterus itself can also play a part in their formation.
Risk Factors for Uterine Fibroids
Some women are more likely to develop fibroids. Knowing your risk helps you seek uterine fibroid treatment in Ayurveda early:
Age
Fibroids are most common in women in their 30s and 40s, and usually shrink after menopause.
Family History
Having a mother or sister with fibroids raises your own risk.
Early Periods
Starting periods at a young age means longer exposure to oestrogen, which fuels fibroid growth.
Excess Weight
Being overweight is linked to a higher risk of developing fibroids.
Diet and Lifestyle
A diet high in red meat and low in vegetables and fruit, and regular alcohol, may increase the risk.

Recognizing the Signals: Common Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids
Heavy and Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding (Menorrhagia)
Periods that are significantly heavier than usual or last for an extended duration can be a key indicator of uterine fibroids. This can sometimes lead to anemia and fatigue.
Increased Urinary Frequency:
Larger fibroids can press on the bladder, leading to a frequent urge to urinate, even when the bladder is not full.
Pelvic Pain and Pressure:
A persistent dull ache or a feeling of heaviness and pressure in the pelvic region is a common complaint. The intensity can range from mild to severe and may be intermittent or constant.
Back and Leg Pain
Depending on their location, fibroids can exert pressure on nerves and muscles in the back and legs, causing discomfort or pain that radiates down the lower limbs.
Infertility and Pregnancy Complications
In some cases, fibroids can interfere with the implantation of a fertilized egg or distort the shape of the uterus, potentially leading to difficulties in conceiving or complications during pregnancy.
Pain During Intercourse (Dyspareunia):
Fibroids located in certain areas can cause discomfort or pain during sexual activity.
