Abstract

Asrugdara (excessive and irregular uterine bleeding) is very common problem in female. It does not affect the only reproductive health but it also deleteriously effect the general health of women. Contemporary medicines offer medical therapy but when it can’t work, it has been managed by surgical intervention like hysterectomy, uterine thermal balloon etc. In Ayurveda, Asrugdara mainly has been managed by haemostatic drugs. This clinical study deals with the management of Asrugdara using Madhukadi Vati. Total 36 patients were selected according to inclusion and diagnostic criteria. Out of them 30 patients completed the course of the treatment while 6 patients discontinued. Assessment criteria were based on the improvement in the score of cardinal symptoms before and after the treatment. There was a statistically significant reduction observed in cardinal symptoms by Madhukadi Vati at the end of the treatment period. The other common symptoms were also successfully reduced.
