ABSTRACT

Asrigdara as a disease appears to be a condition characterized with abnormal bleeding per vagina, not associated with any organic pathology as well as apparent functional disorder of concerned organs thus it appears to be very near to dysfunctional uterine bleeding described in the books of modern gynaecology. Asrigdara is a disease peculiar to women influencing their menstrual cycle, naturally some abnormality in the normal physiology is expected in this disease. The vayu carries rasa or rakta to fine vessels of garbhasaya which are filled for whole month. At the end of rituchakra the vayu propels this accumulated blood through the vaginal orifices, thus the blood is discharged for 3-5 days, in average amount, unassosiated with pain, discomfort, unctuousness, burning sensation etc. featuers. In one month of total cycle having 12-16 days as ritukala and rituvyatitakala of 7 -11 days (A.S .Sha 1/401). At the end there is bleeding phase for 3-5 days.
