NAVIGATING THE ENIGMA: A COMPREHENSIVE CASE STUDY ON ASRIGDARA WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON ABNORMAL UTERINE BLEEDING Authors: Gosai D And Makim R*
ABSTRACT
The complicated and multidimensional gynecological issue of abnormal uterine bleeding
(AUB) has a substantial negative influence on the health and well-being of women. Asrigdara,
in the Ayurvedic classics, offers a unique viewpoint on menstruation diseases within the larger
context of AUB. This research explores the complex interactions between variables that lead
to irregular uterine bleeding, with a focus on the Ayurvedic notion of Asrigdara. The study
intends to improve our knowledge of the cause, diagnosis, and treatment of irregular uterine
bleeding by examining both conventional and traditional points of view. This will promote a
more comprehensive approach to women's reproductive health.
Methodology- A 49-year-old woman reported to the Parul Ayurved Hospital's OPD with
complaints of protracted and profuse menstrual bleeding and dragging pain in the lower
abdomen over the past 6-7 months, as well as persistent spotting for the past 15 days. The
patient was evaluated before and after therapy, and successful alleviation of fibroid was
obvious in the sonography, as well as symptomatic improvement in her menstruation.
Conclusion- Abnormal Uterine Bleeding due to fibroid is one of the leading indications for
hysterectomy which leads to surgical menopause and results in menopausal symptoms.Ayurvedic management with the help of Shodhana and Shamana Aushadhi helps in managing
the fibroid the prolonged and excessive bleeding caused by fibroid. With Ayurvedic
management prevalence of surgical intervention can be reduced by conservative management.
