Abstract

Woman being important member of family, if suffers from any minor ailment the dependent has to suffer along, so It is important to seek consultation on priority to prevent the conversion of minor ailment in to major problem. 1/3 of the female patient visiting the gynae OPD are suffering from abnormal uterine bleeding (asrigdara). Ignoring or hiding this problem hampers the quality life of patients & can even prove to be life threatening due excess blood loss. Awareness is somewhere lacking in this area, patient is unknown about the normal pattern of bleeding in terms of days or number of pads being used /day during the menstrual cycle, when systemic involvement occurs then only, they consider it seriously. Aharaj, viharaj or manosambandhi nidan causes doshika vitiation & leads to rajo vaha shrotas vikriti eventually causing excess excretion of asrik called as asrigdara. Early diagnosis & management can prevent the complication of patient. Identifying & removing the root cause will help in control of disease with lifestyle correction & balancing the vitiated dosha. The Ayurveda text is full of such drugs that help in control of this disease. Drugs with rakta pitta shamaka, rakta sthapaka, madhura, tikta & Kashaya rasa Pradhan & sheet veerya property will help such patients. Both oral & local treatment are equally effective in these patients as per the cause, instead of using combined oral pills & opting surgical procedure like myomectomy or hysterectomy to get rid of such problem it is better to go for herbal treatment which have been proved to be very effective in asrigdara without causing any side effects.
