Surgery, including hysterectomy, or myomectomy has conventionally been the primary treatment, with considerable risks and a substantial economic burden. However, non-surgical approaches have been explored throughout history. This study presents a case of a 52-year-old woman with chronic uterine fibroids and associated Symptoms, including abnormal bleeding and severe burning sensations, which were successfully Resolved using traditional organometallic formulations. The patient, after developing symptoms Post-COVID vaccination, sought alternative treatment and was prescribed a combination of Indian classical organometallic formulations, including Rasa Sindoor, Tamra Bhasma, Trivanga Bhasma, and Punarnavasava. Within three months, the patient’s condition significantly improved. Menstrual regularity was restored, bleeding ceased, and the burning sensation subsided. Follow-up imaging showed reduction in fibroid size. Biochemical investigations found within normal ranges, indicating safety and efficacy of the treatment. This case highlights the potential of Ayurvedic and traditional therapies as viable alternatives to surgery in managing uterine fibroids.
