Dr. Sowmya G.* and Dr. Pratibha P. Kulkarni

ABSTRACT

The word Asrigdara explains prolonged and excessive bleeding, including bleeding during the intermenstrual period. According to Caraka, due to Pradirana (excessive excretion) of Raja (menstrual blood), it is named Pradara, and since there is Dirana (excessive excretion) of Asrk (menstrual blood), it is known as Asrigdara. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is defined as abnormal uterine bleeding without any clinically detectable organic, systemic, iatrogenic cause, or pregnancy, which can be considered as Asrigdara. Currently, DUB is a state of abnormal uterine bleeding following anovulation due to dysfunction of the hypothalamopituitary ovarian axis (endocrine origin). Treatment modalities, Shamana and Shodana Chikitsa, control the bleeding. Drugs with Kashaya, Tikta Rasa and Sheeta Veerya help in vasoconstriction and bring haemostasis.
