The Ayurvedic Management of Hyperprolactinemia (Satnyavriddhi) - A Case Report

Abstract

Abstract
Introduction: Hyperprolactinemia is an endocrine disorder characterized by elevated serum prolactin levels, commonly presenting with galactorrhea and menstrual irregularities. In Ayurveda, this condition can be correlated with Stanyavriddhi and Artavavaha srotodushti caused by Kapha–Vata imbalance and Agnimandya. Methods: A 38-year-old female presented with bilateral breast secretion and irregular, scanty menstruation for three years. Ayurvedic management including Deepana, Pachana, Anulomana followed by administration of Aarogyavardhini Vati, Avipattikara Churna, Karpuradhi Gana Vati, Durva Swarasa and Sarsapa Taila was given for three consecutive menstrual cycles. Results: Complete reduction of breast secretion was observed. Menstrual cycle regularity was restored to 28–35 days with improvement in duration and quantity of flow. Conclusion: Ayurvedic management was found to be effective and safe in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia by correcting the underlying Dosha–Dhatu imbalance.
