Abstract

Adnexal masses are a spectrum of conditions from gynaecologic and non-gynaecologic sources which may be benign or malignant. The early detection and evaluation of an adnexal mass requires a high index of suspicion, a systematic history and physical examination. A 50 years old postmenopausal woman had complaints of severe lower abdominal pain especially in the right iliac region for the past 2 months. She had a history of large adnexal mass in right ovary which was later evaluated and diagnosed as a benign adnexal cyst. Due to age factor and family history surgical intervention was advised to the patient. In avoidance of surgery, patients preferred Siddha management and approached SRRI OPD. Treatment was started to the patient as per Siddha diagnostics. During the treatment the patient was relieved from symptoms gradually. Ultra-sonogram was done at the end of 12 weeks of treatment. The result showed bilaterally normal ovaries without any cyst. Follow up scans at the end of 3rd and 6th month revealed the same. Further research has to be done to prove the clinical efficacy of the prescribed Siddha medicines.
