MANAGEMENT OF RAKTAPRADARA (DYSFUNCTIONAL UTERINE BLEEDING) THROUGH AYURVEDA – A CASE REPORT.

Abstract

Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB) affects 10-30% of females of the reproductive age group and 50% in the perimenopausal age group. This is a recognised issue that affects fertility. Several medications are available in contemporary medicine to manage it, but the results are unsatisfactory. The earliest systematic medical system, Ayurveda, describes many treatment etiquettes for Raktapradara in its texts. We present here a case study of a 35- year-old female patient who had been bleeding excessively during the menstrual period for more than five years. The case was diagnosed as DUB. She approached our hospital after failing to get improvement from modern medicine. She was treated with medication prescribed in Ayurveda. This case study demonstrates the competency of Ayurveda treatment for DUB compared to different treatment protocols.
