Panchakarma Protocol
Uttara Basti (Female - Intrauterine)
in Bengaluru
Uttara Basti in females is a highly advanced, sterile Ayurvedic procedure where specific medicated oils, ghee, or decoctions are instilled directly into the uterine cavity through the cervix. It is the most powerful Ayurvedic treatment for female infertility and uterine disorders.
Clinical Benefits
- The gold standard treatment for clearing Fallopian Tube blockages without surgery
- Thickens the endometrial lining, significantly improving IVF success rates
- Shrinks small uterine fibroids and treats severe Endometriosis
- Provides direct nourishment to the ovaries, improving egg quality in PCOS
Clinical Procedure
1. Preparation (Purvakarma)
- • The procedure is done in a sterile, minor OT setting. The vagina is cleansed (Yoni Prakshalana).
- • Patient undergoes local abdominal massage and steam.
2. Main Action (Pradhana Karma)
Using a sterile speculum and a specialized Uttara Basti cannula (or modern IUI catheter), a small, precise amount (3-5 ml) of medicated oil or ghee (like Phala Ghrita) is instilled directly into the uterus.
3. Post-Therapy (Paschatkarma)
- • The patient rests with legs elevated for 30-45 minutes to allow the medicine to enter the fallopian tubes.
- • A pad is worn as some oil may leak out over the next few hours.
Patient FAQs
Is Uttara Basti painful?
It is similar to an IUI procedure or a Pap smear. You may feel a slight cramping sensation as the cannula passes the cervix, but it is generally very well tolerated without anesthesia.
