NEED OF THE STUDY - One of the most common gynaecological issue affecting women during their reproductive year is Asrigdara. Asrigdara or Abnormal uterine bleeding is of more concern, because excessive or prolonged bleeding may cause undue disruption of woman’s daily activities & affects woman’s health both physically and psychologically. The incidence rate of Asrigdara is increasing day by day, so if treatment is delayed this can lead to a worsen condition of the patient due to excessive blood loss. According to FIGO, AUB is most common complaint in gynecology. It accounts for 70% of all gynecologic consults, affects 1/3 of women at some stage in their life. The estimated worldwide prevalence is about 4 to 52%. In India its prevalence is about 17.9%. If Asrigdara" is not treated properly, it can cause further complications like Daurbalya, Bhram, Paandu, anaemia, excessive bleeding can even cause death.

Various treatment modalities prescribed in modern medicine like hormonal treatment, anti-fibrinolytic agents, dilatation and curettage etc. have not proved their definite efficacy in spite of high price and side effects. Although the medical therapy is generally used first in which long term use of hormones like progestin may increase the risk of breast cancer. Dilatation and curettage can also stop the acute episode of excess uterine bleeding but not the subsequent episode, therefore the ultimate option for Menorrhagia is Hysterectomy. Morbidity is related with the amount of blood loss at the time of menstruation, which occasionally is severe enough to cause Hemorrhagic shock.

So, it is a great scope of research to find out safe, potent, cost effective remedy from Ayurveda by addressing the root of the problem thereby improving the quality of life of woman. Looking into the pathogenesis of Asrigdara, it occurs due to vitiation of Pitta, Rakta and Apana Vayu Vaigunya. In Asrigdara due to loss of Rakta dhatu other dhatus also. decreased and they lead to Agnimandya". Due to Agnimandya, Rasa Dhatu didn’t form properly and improper Rasa Dhatu leads to improper Rakta Dhatu formation. In other words, all seven Dhatus formed improperly. Along this, Upadhatu of Rasa i.e. Artava formation is also impaired. Thus, for the treatment of Asrigdara, the drug having the properties of Pittashamana, Vatanulomana, Raktasthapana, Raktasamgrahi, Agnidepana and Garbhashaya Balya etc. are used. So the drug which have capacity to break the pathogenesis, arrest the progression of disease, reduce risk of complications and relieve the symptoms should be used in Asrigdara.
