Dr. Subhash Marlewar*

Abstract

Any abnormality in Rutuchakra (menstrual rhythm) leads excessive and irregular uterine bleeding which is known as “Asrigdara” in classical text. Various reports suggest that 30 to 50% of women in the reproductive age group suffer from excessive and irregular uterine bleeding by various causative factors. Heavy uterine bleeding is managed with medical therapy with associated side effects, and if unsuccessful is followed by surgical intervention. Modern and other medical systems failed to offer a complete care for the same. Thus there is scope for alternate management of excessive and irregular uterine bleeding. Ayurvedic understanding of disease points towards predominance of Vatadushti. So in this state, Uttarbasti is choice of treatment for regularization of the menstrual cycle. The present case study was done to evaluate the role of Ashokghrut Uttarbasti in the management of Asrigdara. After 3 cycles of Uttarbasti, patient had regular menses. After taking treatment for 3 months patient is completely cured.

Keywords: Any abnormality in Rutuchakra Ashokghrut Uttarbasti completely cured.
