Abstract

Motherhood is special gift for women. Recurrent abortions are described as three or more consecutive pregnancy losses. However, two successive defeats before 20 weeks are currently considered sufficient to define recurrent pregnancy loss.[1] According to Ayurveda recurrent pregnancy losses can be compared to putraghni yonivyapad. According to Charaka Samhita, all the gynecological disorders are comprised under the twenty yonivyapadas, the putraghni yonivyapad is described under the same. It occurs due to vitiation of vata dosha caused by vata prakopaka nidanas, the aggravated ruksha guna of the vata dosha plays the dominant role in causing the repeated destruction of the conceived foetus by vitiating the shudha shonita.[2] Similarly, Acharya Sushruta has mentioned the Putraghani yonivyapad due to vitiation of pitta dosha leading to repeated loss in the products of conception with instability due to profuse rakta sansrava.[3]
