Reproductive health issues such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, and infertility significantly affect women's well-being and quality of life. Despite the availability of modern medical treatments, these disorders often require long- term management, and many pharmacological or surgical interventions are associated with adverse effects or limited long-term efficacy. Ayurveda, the ancient system of Indian medicine, offers a holistic approach to managing these conditions through personalized therapies that include herbal formulations, dietary interventions, lifestyle modifications, and detoxification treatments like Panchakarma. Recent studies have started to validate the effectiveness of Ayurvedic methods in addressing hormonal imbalances, reducing pain, improving fertility, and enhancing overall reproductive health. This review synthesizes classical Ayurvedic principles and contemporary clinical evidence, emphasizing the potential for integrative care that combines Ayurvedic approaches with modern biomedical practices. It concludes that a collaborative model of care, grounded in individualized treatment plans, could offer improved management of gynecological disorders and optimize reproductive health outcomes for women.
