AN OPEN LABEL, TWO ARM, RANDOMIZED CLINICAL STUDY ON EFFICACY OF PATHYAMALAKYADI KASHAYA AND DARVYADI KWATHA IN ASRIGDARA (DYSFUNCTIONAL UTERINE BLEEDING)

Dr. Sowmya G.* and Dr. Gayathri Bhat N. V.

ABSTRACT

Dysfunctional uterine bleeding presents abnormal uterine bleeding without identifiable organic, systemic, or iatrogenic causes. It commonly results from anovulation due to dysfunction in the Hypothalamo pituitary ovarian axis. Asrigdara manifests as prolonged and excessive bleeding, including intermenstrual bleeding. The word “Asrigdara” explains about prolonged and excessive bleeding and bleeding during intermenstrual period. According to Caraka due to pradirana (excessive excretion) of raja (menstrual blood), it is named as pradara. Treatment traditionally involves shamana and shodana chikitsa to control bleeding. Pathyamalakyadi kashaya and Darvyadi kwatha, both possessing kashaya, tikta rasa, and sheeta veerya properties, were selected for comparison in this study for their potential hemostatic effects. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of these formulations in managing Asrigdara.
