Abstract
Nowadays Pitha Perumpaadu has become a common problem among the female society. It limits normal activities in routine life. Menorrhagia usually do not carry severe risks to women’s general health but sometimes it requires serious medical sequelae. So I have selected this common ailment which hinders the physical development of women. This disease is well correlated with Menorrhagia due to the classical features. Sadhurmuga Choornam and Soothra Abhayaathy Legium were taken as trial medicines for this dissertation work. The aetiology, pathology, classification, clinical features, diagnosis, complications, treatment, prognosis and prevention of the disease were collected from available literatures both in Siddha system and modern system of medicine. In this study, 20 patients of different age groups with classical symptoms were selected as Inpatients and another 20 patients were taken as Outpatients. The trial medicines were given to all the selected patients. From the observation and results, it is clear that the disease was common on the following aspects. • Age occurrence of the disease was seen in all age Groups. • Majority of the patients belonged in Pitha kaalam. • Majority of the cases were affected in Koothirkaalam. • Maximum number of cases were married. • The disease had been found both in lower and middle income group. • Duration of illness ranged upto 2 yrs. • Iron deficiency Anemia was the aetiological factor in all cases. • Associated pelvic pathology was ruled out by Ultrasonogram study. • Alterations in equilibrium of the three Doshas were elicited. In Vatham, Abaanan, Vyaanan and Praanan were completely affected. In Pitham, Ranjagam, Praasagam and Saathagam were affected in all the cases. In Kabham, Avalambagam was affected more. • Among seven Udarkattukkal, Saaram, Senneer and Suronitham were affected in all the cases. • Siddha diagnosis was achieved with the help of Envagai Thervugal. In Envagai Thervugal, Naa, Niram and Vizhi was affected in all the cases. • In Perumpaadu, the Naadi observed were Pitha Vaatham, Vatha Pitham and Pithakabham. • Neikuri showed the shapes of ring and snake indicating Pitha and Vatha Neer. • In laboratory investigations, routine blood and urine analysis, bleeding time and clotting time were seen in all the patients. • Haemoglobin levels were regularly checked and observed for improvement. • The efficacy of trial medicines were observed. • 70% of the patients showed good results and had no side effects or adverse effects after treatment. • Biochemical analysis showed the presence of acid radicals, basic radicals and phytochemical constituents of trial medicines. • Pharmacological studies confirmed the Styptic activity of Sadhurmuga Choornam and Haematinic activity of Soothra Abhayaathy Legium. • Anemia was corrected within 2-3 menstrual cycles. • Duration of the menstrual periods and amount of bleeding had decreased and the results were tabulated. CONCLUSION: In this study, clinical results were found to be satisfactory in 70% cases. • The clinical study confirms the efficacy of the trial medicines, in controlling the bleeding and relief from Anaemia. • Results of the study were highly encouraging. • Treatment improved the functions of Abaana Vaayu, which regularizes the menstrual cycle. • No untoward effects were reported during the treatment period. • The preclinical studies showed significant activity and safety of the medicines. • Preclinical studies proved the Styptic and haematinic activity of trial medicines. • Statistical analysis proved significance of clinical improvement with the treatment. • Siddha way of approach is certainly the best treatment of Pitha Perumpaadu in all aspects, as it could avoid surgical procedure. • Because of the encouraging results, both preclinically and clinically, it is considered that Pitha Perumpaadu is well controllable alone with Sadhurmauga Choornam and Soothra Abhayaathy Legium.
