Abstract

Asrigdara (Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding) is a common medical disease in women causing both physical & psychological disturbances. Asrigdara is common during transitional stage of woman’s life i.e. puberty to adolescence, affecting premenopausal period but it can also be seen during reproductive age. Its prevalence rate is increasing day by day & has become a responsible factor for health issues of a female. It is characterized by excessive bleeding per vaginum, in both in amount & duration. Ayurveda is a branch of science which deals with both prophylactic & curative aspects of disease & helps in maintaining good health. Hence a study of Asrigdara helps in decrease in prevalence of this disease. In modern haemostatic, analgesic & hormonal therapies are advised for dysfunctional uterine bleeding, which has limitations. Hence it is need to have an integrated & comprehensive therapeutic intervention in Ayurveda. The drug included not only pacifies the vyadhi by action on the doshas involved but also helps in the upadrava which are seen in Asrigdara.
