Antiandrogenic Therapy

Hyperandrogenism syndrome, the main manifestations of which are pathological hirsutism, acne, oily seborrhea, androgenic alopecia, accompanies a wide range of diseases of the female reproductive system, manifested by various disorders of menstrual function and infertility. Isolated hirsutism is also a serious psychological and cosmetic problem, especially since almost one in ten women of reproductive age have excessive hair growth. To get rid of "excess" hair, women use various methods. However, in severe manifestations of hyperandrogenism or in the case of severe and moderate hirsutism, it is advisable to use systemic antiandrogenic therapy.

Intraepithelial Lesions

Squamous intraepithelial lesions of the cervix are one of the most common pathologies of the female reproductive system, mainly affecting patients of reproductive age. The progression of this pathology can result in the development of cervical cancer. As a rule, cervical cancer does not occur immediately, but develops over a long period of time, going through a series of stages. Dynamic monitoring and identification of squamous intraepithelial lesions progression markers are necessary to prevent the development of cervical cancer. The article presents current data on the etiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis of this pathology.

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after at least one year of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse [1] and affects one out of eight couples of reproductive age in the United States. Estimates suggest that a significant percentage of such cases result from defective semen quality in the male [2].

Ovarian Syndrome

Female reproductive system consists of hypothalamo-pituitary-ovarian axis and intact uterine-adnexa which maintains a complex mechanism. In human body all the systems are interrelated to function properly; any imbalance in one system may cause multisystem pathogenesis. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrinopathy, which is multifactorial and polygenic condition, manifested as oligoovulation or anovulation, signs of hyperandrogenism and multiple small ovarian cysts. Signs and symptoms vary within individual’s overtime. This adversely affect the reproductive system by menstrual disorders, infertility, obesity, depression, sleep apnea, insulin resistance and in due course may result in diabetes mellitus, endometrial cancer, cardiovascular disease etc. According to Ayurveda PCOS is a disorder which involves the three Doshas, Dhathus like Rasa, Raktha and Medas. The Srothas involved in this condition are Rasa, Rakta and Arthava vaha which eventually manifests features such as Anarthava (amenorrhea), Vandhyathwa, Pushpagni, Abeeja rtuchakra (anovular bleeding). Here is a case report of 19 year old girl who presented with irregular menstruation, rapid weight gain and hair loss. On USG she was detected to have bilateral PCO pattern. Based on the clinical features, treatment principles adopted were Aamapachana, Vata anulomana, Kaphapittahara and Arthava janana. After 2 months of internal medications, symptoms reduced markedly and menstruation was normal. Adherence to Ayurvedic principles is found to be helpful in PCOS for a healthy and fruitful life.

Ficus Bengalensis

Every human being has inherent, intense desire to continue his (one's) own race; to become a mother is one of the most cherished desires of every woman. Infertility is defined as “a disease of the reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a pregnancy after 12 or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse”. In Ayurveda, this condition is considered as Vandhvatva. It is a Universal phenomenon occurring both in developing and under developing countries. A great demand from Ayurveda in the field of infertility has been established due to its unique concept about effective and cheaper therapy without any side effects. Vata (Ficus bengalensis) is such a drug which is widely available and is having many mentioning in the classics for its effectiveness in Stree Vandhyatwa. Its vegetative buds are used in the treatment of Vandyatwa.

Physiological Dose

ABSTRACT The present investigation deals with the oestrogen-sensitivity of the female reproductive system during the neonatal period. Newborn female guinea pigs were used as test animals. At different times after a single subcutaneous injection of a physiological dose of 0.1 μg or an unphysiologically high dose of 10 μg 17β-oestradiol/100 g body weight, the RNA- and protein-synthesis was examined in the hypothalamic region, pituitary, cerebral cortex, liver, adrenal gland, ovary and uterus. With a physiological dose an increase in organ weight, protein content, RNA-and protein-synthesis was found only in the uterus. These alterations turned out to be dose-dependent. In addition to the findings in the uterus an inhibition of the aminoacid incorporation rate occurred in the liver following the injection of the high oestradiol dose. As early as 1 hour after the administration of 0.1 μg 17β-oestradiol an almost 100% increase in uterine protein synthesis was detectable. This result demonstrates a high oestrogen-sensitivity of this organ during the neonatal period. All the other organs of the female reproductive system such as the hypothalamus, pituitary and ovary did not show any oestrogen response. Therefore the functional immaturity of the uterus during post partem life is not the result of a deficient hormone sensitivity but is correlated with the absence of a sufficient hormonal stimulus at this time. The investigation on the effects of actinomycin resulted in different reactions in the uterus and liver. In contrast to the liver a paradoxical actinomycin effect was found in the uterus after treatment with actinomycin alone. This effect is characterized by a small inhibition of RNA-synthesis and a 50% increase in protein synthesis. The treatment of the newborn test animals with actinomycin and 17β-oestradiol together abolished the oestrogen-induced stimulation of the uterine RNA-and protein-synthesis. Consequently, the effect of oestrogens during the neonatal period is also connected with the formation of new proteins via an increased DNA-directed RNA-synthesis.
