An Open Labelled Randomised Comparative Clinical Study On The Effect Of Pradarahara Kasaya And Pathyamalakyadi Kasaya In The Management Of Asrigdara W.S.R To Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding

The process of cyclic menstruation is natural phenomenon. Regular cyclic menstruation results from the relationship between the endometrium and its regulating factors. Menstruation denotes the healthy state of female reproductive system but if the cycle turns to be abnormal with excessive and prolonged bleeding, associated with pain or during intermenstrual period, it is suggestive of some underlying pathology. In modern science asrigdara can be closely co-related with DUB. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is best defined as abnormal uterine bleeding without any clinically detectable organic, systemic and iatrogenic cause (pelvic pathology i.e tumors, inflammation or pregnancy is excluded). The current line of treatment include medical and surgical methods, plays insignificant role besides the adverse effects. Hormones play a major role in the management of DUB (Asrigdara) but their use for longer period is proved to be dangerous and sometimes induce carcinogenic effect on the genital tract. In view of the problems of the current therapies, need is felt to revalidate certain ayurvedic formulations for the management of asrigdara without adverse effects.
