ABSTRACT

Raktapradar is one of the gynecological problems associated with severe bleeding; it may or may not be accompanied by menstruation. According to Charaka, due to Pradirana (excessive excretion) of Raja (menstrual blood), it is named Pradara and since there is excessive excretion of Asruk(menstrual blood)hence it is known as Raktapradar. Ayurvedic texts have described a variety of treatment options in the management of Raktapradar. Many women of reproductive age suffer from Raktapradar. There is a wide range of treatments in modern medicine which are non-hormonal, hormonal, and surgical. In Ayurveda, Pathya-Apathya with medication has very much importance. It is a part of ayurvedic treatment. We present here a case study of a patient 15 years old, complaining of Raktapradar. In the present study, it is observed that Pathya-Apathya with medecation has a significant role in relieving symptoms of Raktapradar.
