Abstract:
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) presents complex challenges in diagnosis and treatment due to its multifactorial nature. This case study focuses on a 31-year-old woman exhibiting symptoms of weight gain, irregular menstruation cycles, and hirsutism, leading to a diagnosis of PCOS. Conventional diagnostic criteria and ultrasound confirmation of multiple ovarian cysts supported the diagnosis. By integrating Ayurvedic principles alongside Western medical techniques, this study sought to address imbalances in the Kapha and Pitta doshas, fundamental energies according to Ayurveda, believed to contribute to PCOS symptoms. Clinical findings emphasized the role of Pitta dosha imbalance in inflammation, hormonal irregularities, and excessive body heat, while Kapha dosha imbalance manifested in fluid retention, weight gain, and increased mucus production. A holistic treatment approach was devised, aiming to restore doshic balance while addressing hormonal and metabolic dysregulation. The treatment protocol comprised lifestyle modifications, advocating for a regular exercise regimen focusing on activities enhancing insulin sensitivity and promoting weight loss. Swimming, yoga, and brisk walking were recommended to achieve these goals. Dietary interventions tailored to balance Kapha and Pitta doshas were prescribed, emphasizing nourishing, warming foods low in carbohydrates to prevent weight gain and boost metabolism. Anti-inflammatory foods, such as turmeric and ginger, were incorporated to mitigate inflammation. The integration of Ayurvedic principles alongside Western medicine offered a comprehensive approach to PCOS management, addressing both the root causes and symptoms of the condition. This personalized treatment strategy aimed not only to alleviate immediate symptoms but also to promote long-term health and well-being by restoring doshic equilibrium and optimizing hormonal and metabolic functions. In conclusion, this case study highlights the potential efficacy of combining Ayurvedic and Western medical approaches in the management of PCOS, offering a tailored and holistic treatment paradigm for patients seeking comprehensive care.
摘要:
多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)由于其多因素性质,在诊断和治疗方面提出了复杂的挑战。这个案例研究的重点是一名31岁的女性,表现出体重增加的症状,月经周期不规律,和多毛症,导致PCOS的诊断。常规诊断标准和多发性卵巢囊肿的超声确认支持诊断。通过将阿育吠陀原理与西方医学技术相结合,这项研究试图解决Kapha和Pittadoshas的失衡问题,根据阿育吠陀的基本能量,被认为是导致PCOS症状的原因。临床发现强调了Pittadosha失衡在炎症中的作用,荷尔蒙不规则,和过度的体温,而Kaphadosha不平衡表现为液体潴留,体重增加,增加粘液的产生。设计了一种整体治疗方法,旨在恢复doshic平衡,同时解决荷尔蒙和代谢失调。治疗方案包括改变生活方式,提倡定期运动方案,重点是增强胰岛素敏感性和促进体重减轻的活动。游泳,瑜伽,建议快走以实现这些目标。规定了为平衡Kapha和Pittadoshas而量身定制的饮食干预措施,强调营养,加热碳水化合物含量低的食物,以防止体重增加和促进新陈代谢。抗炎食品,比如姜黄和生姜,合并以减轻炎症。阿育吠陀原则与西医的整合为PCOS管理提供了全面的方法,解决疾病的根本原因和症状。这种个性化的治疗策略不仅旨在缓解即时症状,还旨在通过恢复剂量平衡和优化激素和代谢功能来促进长期健康和福祉。总之,本案例研究强调了阿育吠陀和西方医学方法结合治疗PCOS的潜在疗效,为寻求全面护理的患者提供量身定制的整体治疗模式。
