Review on Raktapradara (menorrhagia) and its management
Abstract
Menorrhagia is cyclical bleeding at normal intervals which is excessive in amount or duration, Menorrhagia is generally caused by conditions affecting the uterus and its vascular apparatus, rather than by any ovarian disturbance. It occurs if the bleeding surface (that is the area of the endometrium) is increased. According to Ayurveda it can be correlated with Rakta Pradara. Rakta Pradara is one among the Rakta Pradoshaja Vikara and characterized by Artava Ati Pravrutti, Deerga Kala Pravrutti, Anruta Kala Pravrutti, Daha in Adho Vankshana Pradesha, Sroni, Prushta and Kukshi, Shoola in Garbhashaya Angamardha etc. Since Raktapradara is mainly due to Vata Pitta Dosha; Kashaya Rasa and Pittashamaka Chikitsa may be adopted. Ayurvedic formulations help in breaking down the pathogeneses of Raktapradara and its recurrence.
