Ayurvedic Treatment for Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding
Ayurvedic management of abnormal uterine bleeding and heavy periods.
Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding — Overview & Ayurvedic Understanding
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is abnormal menstrual bleeding without identifiable structural cause. Ayurvedic care regulates cycles and corrects underlying dosha imbalance.
Symptoms of Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding
Heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia)
Irregular cycles
Prolonged bleeding (>7 days)
Inter-menstrual bleeding
Anaemia from chronic blood loss
Causes & Risk Factors for Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding
Hormonal imbalance
Thyroid dysfunction
Stress and sleep disruption
Anovulatory cycles
Perimenopause
PCOS
How We Diagnose Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding
Ultrasound to rule out structural causes. Hormonal panel including thyroid. Endometrial assessment if needed. Ayurvedic Raktapradara and Artava assessment.
Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding — Surgery vs Non-Surgical Ayurvedic Treatment
Why Non-Surgical Ayurvedic Treatment Works for Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding
DUB responds excellently to Ayurvedic care — many patients avoid hormonal therapy or hysterectomy.
When Surgery Is the Right Path
Hysterectomy only in refractory cases with structural pathology.
We maintain transparent referral relationships with leading orthopaedic and specialist surgeons.

Not sure which physician to book with? Send us your reports and we'll match you with the best fit.
WhatsApp for Help Choosing →Many women's health and fertility concerns are managed on an outpatient basis with medicines, diet, and lifestyle guidance after consultation. Some conditions benefit from Panchakarma or an inpatient programme, as advised by the physician.
Treatment cost
We do not publish a price for dysfunctional uterine bleeding treatment, and that is deliberate. AVN Arogya does not use fixed protocols — the treating physician designs each programme individually, and it is that protocol which determines the cost.
It is only at the end of your consultation that the physician can say which kind of care you actually need:
- Outpatient — medicines to take at home, with review visits. The least involved option, and for many people it is enough.
- Visiting therapy — you come in for therapy sessions over a period and return home the same day.
- Inpatient admission — you stay with us for intensive daily therapy. Here the estimate also depends on the duration the physician recommends and the room category you choose.
Once those are decided we give you a written estimate for your own plan, including what your insurance is likely to cover. Quoting a figure before the assessment would mean quoting one that may not apply to you.

We understand this conversation can be difficult. A few approaches that work: (1) Start with a telemedicine consultation — hearing from a qualified physician is more convincing than a website, (2) Share specific case outcomes for their condition (we can provide references), (3) Emphasise that we work WITH their existing doctors, not against them, (4) Reassure them that they won't be asked to stop current medicines, (5) If they're hesitant about travel, our visiting specialists at 6 clinics across 6 cities may be closer. Our care coordinators are experienced at having these conversations with families.
Consultation fees are ₹150 for a phone (tele) consultation with a Physician or Senior Physician, ₹300 for an in-person consultation and for a review with a Senior Consultant Physician, and ₹500 for a video consultation with a Senior Consultant Physician. First-time patients pay a one-time registration fee of ₹50 in addition, except for phone consultations. OP therapy packages are quoted separately, based on the treatment plan your physician recommends after the consultation. We provide a detailed cost estimate before treatment begins — no surprises.
