Asrigdara, a condition characterized by excessive menstrual bleeding, is considered a significant gynecological disorder in Ayurveda. It is defined as prolonged or excessive menstrual blood loss, occurring cyclically or acyclically, and is associated with discomfort and systemic manifestations such as weakness, vertigo, and body aches. This disorder is classified based on the dosha involvement into Vataja, Pittaja, Kaphaja, and Sannipataja types. The pathogenesis of Asrigdara involves the vitiation of Pitta, Rakta, and Apana Vayu, leading to the alteration of menstrual flow. Factors contributing to its onset include dietary habits, excessive physical strain, emotional stress, and physical trauma, which disturb the natural balance of the doshas. Ayurvedic treatment focuses on restoring dosha equilibrium through detoxification processes like Virechana and Basti, alongside the use of hemostatic agents and herbal formulations. The prognosis is typically favorable in cases of single dosha involvement, whereas Sannipataja Asrigdara, involving multiple doshas, tends to be more challenging. This study aims to provide a comprehensive review of the classical Ayurvedic approach to Asrigdara, including its etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, and treatment principles, emphasizing the importance of personalized and holistic management strategies in improving patient outcomes.
