In the present era , we all know blood related disorders are very common, and disturbs our daily life. Asrigdara is one of them, which is positive in a greater range of population. Asrigdara includes all types of irregular abnormal uterine bleeding. This disease can be correlated in modern times with menorrhagia and metrorrhagia. Menorrhagia is excessive bleeding and metrorrhagia is bleeding between two menstrual cycles. This anomaly can affect the physical as well as the psychological health of a woman and is very difficult to handle by a working woman. This condition commonly causes anaemia or general weakness. According to Ayurveda, this Asrigdhara is basically resulted due to the vitiation or aggravation of pitta dosha along with vaigunyata of Apana Vayu. This is very effective with anupana of honey.

The main role of Ahara rasa is governed by rasa dhatu so should be healthy if it is deteriorated then its direct influence will be seen on the artava dhatu.

Any imbalance in the dosha causes disorder and balance of the same is pronounced as health. In the condition of Levator Ani Syndrome, vata, kapha and pitta doshas are vitiated. The condition manifests itself with the painful and burning sensation in the rectum and perineal area. By pacifying the above mentioned vitiated dosha, there are a number of herbs that are useful in the levator ani syndrome. The condition can also be named 'guda stambh' as there is spasm of the levator ani syndrome which is characterised by painful and burning sensation in the rectum. Stambhan is the property of sheeta guna of vata dosha and kapha dosha and ruja (pain) is also related to vata dosha.

Hence as per the symptoms and the episodic spasm (stambhan) the condition of levator ani syndrome is best correlated with aggravated vata and pitta doshas.
