ABSTRACT

Introduction “Garbhastravi Vandhy” is a term used in Ayurvedic samhitas for recurrent habitual abortion in first trimester. Spontaneous pregnancy loss is a surprisingly common occurrence. It is physically and emotionally taxing for couples. Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), also referred to as recurrent miscarriage or habitual abortion, is historically defined as three consecutive pregnancy losses prior to 20 weeks from the last menstrual period & affects 1% of couples trying to conceive.. The best available data suggest that the risk of miscarriage in subsequent pregnancies is 30% after 2 losses, compared with 33% after three losses.[1] In this case study, interpretation of cause is done on basics of Ayurvedic diagnostic parameters & management is designed according to that. So Pachan, Panchkarma & Anti natal dilatory regimen with Ayurvedic medicines were planned. During antenatal period combination of herbs with bhasma were used. There was uneventful antenatal period except abnormal placental implantation. The patient was delivered by caesarean section. Female baby with 2900 gram birth weight was born. There was no any neonatal complication till two years of age. This follow up of baby was kept as one of the Ayurvedic formulations used contains purified mercuric sulphide (HgS).
