Menorrhagia is menstrual blood loss which interferes with a woman’s physical, emotional, social and material quality of life, and which can occur alone or in combination with other symptoms. Ayurvedic Treatment For Menorrhagia At Central India About Menorrhagia: Menorrhagia is menstrual bleeding that lasts more than 7 days. it can also be bleeding that is very heavy. The classic definition for menorrhagia is the loss of greater than 80 mL of blood per cycle, but this metric is no longer used in the clinic due to the difficulty of obtaining accurate measurements from patients. Instead, physicians use the frequency of tampon change to diagnose the disease. This condition disrupts routine activities and can be very emotionally stressful for the women involved. The most common complication associated with menorrhagia is anemia – a lower than normal red blood cell count, which leaves the body feeling weak and tired. In some cases, women also experience severe menstrual cramps that require medical intervention. Causes Of Menorrhagia: Possible causes fall under the following Areas: · Hormonal imbalance. The hormones estrogen and progesterone regulate the menstrual cycle in women and are responsible for the thickening of the innermost uterine lining (endometrium). Shedding of this lining results in the bleeding associated with a period. An imbalance in the levels of estrogen and progesterone can lead to excessive thickening of the endometrium and heavier bleeding as it sheds. Dysfunctional ovaries can cause such an imbalance by inhibiting the production of progesterone. · Age. Girls in their first year of menstruation and women approaching menopause (ages 40–50) are most likely to have irregular menstrual cycles without ovulation (releasing an egg). This directly reduces the amount of progesterone hormone and causes heavy bleeding during menstruation. · Uterine tumors. Benign growths in the uterus such as polyps and fibroids, which appear in the woman of reproductive age, can cause heavy menstrual bleeding. Uterine, ovarian and cervical cancers also pose a small risk of developing menorrhagia. · Pregnancy complications. A miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy (where the fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus) can also cause menorrhagia. · Intrauterine device (IUD). An IUD is a small contraceptive device that is inserted into the uterus. Heavy uterine bleeding is a known side effect of IUDs. · Bleeding disorders. Von Willebrand disease (VWD) or platelet function disorders are inherited conditions where specific proteins required for blood clotting are absent, hence the higher risk of menorrhagia. · Other disorders. Pelvic inflammatory disease; liver, kidney, or thyroid disease; and endometriosis and adenomyosis (different conditions involving the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue) may increase the risk of menorrhagia. · Medication. Anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant drugs pose the risk of heavy and/or prolonged periods. Symptoms of Menorrhagia: · Saturating multiple sanitary pads or tampons per hour · Requiring two sanitary pads to contain uterine bleeding · Waking up at night to change sanitary pads or tampons · Prolonged bleeding that lasts beyond a week · Passing large blood clots · Inability to engage in routine daily activities · Fatigue and weakness (signs of anemia). · Has constant pain in the lower part of the stomach during the periods. According to Ayurveda, menorrhagia is compared with Rakta Pradar or Asrigdara. Ayurveda believes that menorrhagia is caused due to the aggravation of the pitta dosha along with the vata dosha. Adhik upvasa, Vyayama, vyavaya; intake of excessive katu, amla, Lavana, vidahi ahara, kulatha, masha, lashuna, matsya, madya and Kshara dravya leads to the aggravation of the pitta dosha. FOUR TYPES OF ASIRGDARA HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED IN AYURVEDA: 1. Vataja Asrigdara – There is pain and frothy bleeding similar to the flower of Palasha. 2. Pittaja Asrigdara – There is blackish red coloured bleeding associated with warmth and fever. 3. Kaphaja Asrigdara – There is stable and thick bleeding. 4. Sannipataja Asrigdara – It is associated with the symptoms of all the three doshas and is associated with syncope and fever. 5.
