Ayurvedic Approach Towards IBS Developed in a Patient of AVN : A Case Study

Avascular necrosis (AVN) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are two distinct illnesses that are simply unrelated. Changes in bowel habits are a symptom of irritable bowel syndrome. A condition known as avascular necrosis of the hip joint occurs when the femoral head of the hip joint does not receive enough blood flow. Basti chikitsa (medicated enema therapy) and Patra Pinda swedana were used to treat a 25-year-old male patient who was experiencing symptoms such as increased frequency of motions, hip joint pain, and stiffness in the hip and thigh region. The patient experienced 90% relief after two Basti chikitsa sessions. This case study sheds light on the Ayurvedic treatment of a patient who had two distinct illnesses (AVN and IBS), also with better grasp of contemporary concepts.
