Introduction: Sal‘a al-Raḥim (uterine fibroids) are the most prevalent benign tumor of the uterus and the most common benign solid tumor in women, with a cumulative prevalence of 70-80% during the reproductive years. They account for approximately 29% of gynecological illness hospitalizations in females aged 15 to 54. Since the only definitive treatment is hysterectomy in modern medicine, 40-60% of all hysterectomies and 18-44% of hysterectomies in young women are caused by uterine fibroids. Recurrent pregnancy loss is an important symptom of uterine fibroids. Case Presentation: A 36-year-old married woman visited the Gynecology (Unani) Out Patient Department (OPD) complaining that she was desperate to become pregnant and carry her pregnancy to term because she had previously had two habitual abortions in the previous seven months, the most recent of which had occurred about a month ago. She was also suffering from severe dysmenorrhea for approximately a year, along with heavy menstrual bleeding with clots. Two fibroids were detected in the fundus during her transabdominal scan (TAS); the larger of the two measured 2 x 2 cm in the posterior wall and 1.6 x 1.7 cm in the anterior wall. While Sarshapadi oil was administered for local application on the lower abdomen, Itrifal Ghudadi (5 g twice daily after meals) and Majun Dabiduward (5 g twice daily after meals) were prescribed internally. All of her ailments improved after receiving medication for around three months, and the two fibroids totally disappeared. Conclusion: After three months of treatment, the TAS revealed that Sal‘a al-Raḥim can be effectively treated with Unani Medicine without experiencing any negative side effects.
