Which therapy is described for endometriosis in the material?

• A. Suprapubic basti with flax oil
• B. Oral iron supplements
• C. Diaphragm use
• D. Kegel exercises

Answer: (A)

In this material, endometriosis is addressed with a traditional Ayurvedic approach: a suprapubic basti (enema) using flax oil. This therapy aims to deliver medicated oil to the lower abdomen and pelvic region, with the idea of balancing bodily energies and reducing inflammation around pelvic organs. The flax oil provides fatty acids that may support anti-inflammatory effects and tissue lubrication, potentially helping with pain and adhesions associated with endometriosis.

The other options don’t fit as described therapies for endometriosis in the material. Oral iron supplements target anemia from heavy menses rather than the endometriosis itself. A diaphragm is a contraceptive device, not a treatment for the disease. Kegel exercises strengthen the pelvic floor but don’t address the underlying endometrial implants.
