Abstract: Asrigdara is a common clinical entity that affects women’s health on both physical and psychological levels. Any abnormality in the menstrual cycle leads to excessive, prolonged and irregular uterine bleeding, known as Asrigdara in classical texts. Asrigdara can be correlated with Abnormal uterine bleeding in modern medicine, which describes it as irregularities in the menstrual cycle involving frequency, regularity, duration, and volume of flow outside of pregnancy. It has a significant effect on the personal, social, family, and work-life of women, thereby reducing their quality of life. Allopathic treatment modalities like hormonal therapy, prostaglandin inhibitors and anti-fibrinolytic agents are known to cause various side effects, and surgical intervention like hysterectomy affects the psychological status of fertile women. Keeping in view of above facts, this article is aimed to explore different studies to provide simple, safe, non-hormonal drugs for the patients of Asrigdara as well as to explore the literature available about Asrigdara in classics and abnormal uterine bleeding in the modern text.
