Her ongoing hormonal treatment had included investigative procedures including diagnostic laparoscopy, USG, and HSG, all of which had yielded negative results, and she had ultimately been recommended for IVF. Due to her ongoing hormone treatment, she had to deal with side effects like weight, hirsutism, stress, discomfort, and more. Her prolonged hormonal treatment had resulted in adverse effects like weight, hirsutism, stress, discomfort, etc. According to Ayurveda, PCOD symptoms point to the involvement of <em>Kapha</em> and <em>Vata dushti</em>, which leads to <em>avarodha</em> in <em>Artavavaha srotasa</em>. <em>Virechana</em> is advised in the classical texts of Ayurveda for <em>Yonidosha</em> (gynaecological diseases), while <em>Erandamooladi basti</em> is recommended for balancing <em>Vata dosha</em>. It was successfully treated by <em>Ayurvedic</em> management with <em>Virechana </em>and <em>Basti </em>from <em>Shodhana chikitsa</em> (total 18 days) and <em>Shamana chikitsa</em> (total 21 days), which has produced positive outcomes.</p>}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Ayurvedic Medicine}, author={M, Yogita Chaudhari and Smita, Kadu and V, Chaudhari Manojkumar}, year={2023}, month={Apr.}, pages={292–296} }
