In Ayurveda AUB can be correlated to Asrigdara and can be treated accordingly. AUB is responsible for 20-30% of the visits to Gynecology OPD amongst women in the reproductive age and 69% in a peri or postmenopausal age. It is more commonly experienced by women of 35-45 years of age. It is also commonly seen among young girls soon after attaining menarche. If this condition is not treated, can lead to life threatening complication. In the contemporary science as a treatment NSAID’s are used, where they decrease the menstrual bleeding, but have no effect on the duration of menstrual bleeding.
