Abstract

Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (AUB-O) refers to abnormal uterine bleeding occurring in the absence of any structural or organic disease and is a widely encountered gynecological concern. Ayurveda describes a similar presentation under the conditions of Asrigdara or Raktapradara, which result from the imbalance of Vata and Pitta Doshas and their subsequent disturbance of the Artava Vaha Srotas. Main Clinical Finding: A 30-year-old female patient presented with complaints of frequent mensus along with painful mensus since last 5-6 years. Also, she was trying to conceive from last 3 months. She was also suffering from generalised weakness and Low appetite from last 3-4 months. The case was treated for 3 months with a combination of Ayurvedic drugs and Matra basti to reduce symptoms and cure AUB. Diagnosis: The patient consulted the Ayurvedic OPD of M.M.M. Govt. Ayurved College & Hospital, Udaipur, with the complaint of polymenorrhea and painful mensus. She has low appetite and generalised weakness since last 3-4 months. She brought USG which shows No abnormality & CBC revealed low hemoglobin. Interventions: The AUB-O (ovulatory dysfunction) patient was managed with traditional Ayurvedic therapies, including oral administration of Shunthyadi Churna and Matra Basti with 60ml of Shatavari Taila during the follicular phase for three consecutive menstrual cycles, along with appropriate Pathya-Apathya guidelines. Outcome: The patient experienced significant symptomatic relief after three months of treatment, with regulation of the menstrual cycle, reduction in menstrual pain, and improved appetite. Following therapy, she conceived naturally. Post-treatment investigations confirmed an intrauterine pregnancy along with improved hemoglobin levels and overall clinical status. Conclusion: This case highlights the effectiveness of Ayurvedic therapy in managing AUB-O without the need for hormonal intervention.
