Women are the pioneers and key to sustainable development and quality of life in the family. Hindu culture respects women as Goddess due to this power of creativity of life inside her womb. This energy of procreation starts with menarche and ends with menopause. Ayurveda focusses on preventive and curative measures of female health. Acharya Charak mentioned “Yonishu Shuddhasu Garbham Vindati Yoshitaha” i.e., normal healthy status of Yoni (vagina) is the key factor for achieving the conception. Various gynaecological disorders like Yoni Rogas, Artava Doshas and Raktapradar hampers the achievement of conception. Raktapradar i.e., excessive excretion of men- strual blood, either in quantity or in duration is explained in Ayurvedic Classics. It is the common cause of Iron deficiency anemia & general debility. Ayurvedic intervention mentioned can be recommended as safer, feasible and effective therapy for management of Raktapradar. Keywords: Shudha Yoni, Yoni Roga, Artava Dosha, Raktapradar.

Foot problems are common in elderly people and healthy feet are recognized as a key factor in maintaining activity and independence. People aged over 75 years exhibit a greater degree of foot pathology than a younger population and foot pain is prevalent in a high percentage of elderly patients. Foot problems impair mobility in many older people and may also contribute to falls. The immobility that results from a local foot problem can have a significant impact on the patient’s ability to maintain life as a useful member of society and has been identified as a common cause of unreported disability, often accepted as an accompaniment of the aging process. With increasing age, many foot problems which may have been well compensated for earlier in life will begin to reduce an elderly person’s mobility and health-related quality of life.

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is one of the causes of chronic fatigue with a decrease in the quality of life, impaired cognitive function and poor labor productivity. Obesity as a condition of chronic low-intensity inflammation is one of the factors that increases the risk of anemia and impairs the quality of life in the general population. We drew attention to the high global prevalence of anemia among pregnant women of reproductive age in the world and the prevalence of high body mass index among women compared to men in most countries. The objective of the work was to determine the impact of obesity on clinical features and quality of life of women with ІDA. We analyzed the main markers of ІDA and hematologic indices in women with obesity (n = 30) compared with the control group (n = 10), where there were women with ІDA but without obesity. It was found that there was no statistical difference between these parameters, but nevertheless, the serum ferritin level in obese women was (4.70 ± 2.68) ng/ml compared to (3.50 ± 2.93) ng/ml and had a significant positive correlation with body mass index. The analysis of the questionnaires revealed that obesity is still a significant factor in women with ІDA and obesity, which determines the decrease in quality of life mainly in the physical aspect in the absence of significant influence on the psychosocial components of health.

Anemia is believed to be a medico-social problem affecting a great part of population. Anemia of chronic diseases represents a considerable number of these disorders, which is particularly challenging for long-standing inflammatory processes, systemic diseases and neoplasms. Pathogenesis of this type of anemia is characterized by complex and miltifactorial nature. Pathogenesis is based on disturbance of erythropoietin synthesis and erythropoiesis precursor cells sensitivity, hyperproduction of factors inhibiting erythropoiesis (tumor necrosis factor, interleukins), disturbance of iron metabolism and other hemopoiesis co-factors. Anemia aggravates associated underlying disease course. Quality of life and overall survival deteriorate. Treatment efficacy for anemia influences the time of patient recovery, as well as success of treatment of other diseases. Iron deficiency and erythropoiesis disturbance, similar to hypoferric anemia, are of great importance. However, iron therapy may aggravate patients condition, hence differential diagnosis of this anemia type and true iron deficiency anemia has a great practical value. In the treatment of anemia in the presence of chronic diseases and anemia in the presence of hematologic diseases, the goal of the treatment is generally limited by the improvement of patients quality of life, target value of hemoglobin for transfusion or erythropoiesis stimulating therapy remaining the subject for discussion. Hemoglobin target determination in individuals with cardiac and pulmonary insufficiency who are on chemotherapy, is critically important, because it is this category of patients that does not demonstrate generally accepted target values of hemoglobin, the level of which is not always indicative of hypoxia absence. The review presents current data on diagnosis, treatment of chronic disease anemia (1 figure, 2 tables, bibliography: 12 refs).

AUB causes iron deficiency anemia and a decrease quality of life of women, which in turn is the reason of their social and clinical significance. Based on the analysis of literature and international data recommendations, the review outlines the basic principles of AUB diagnosis, non-hormonal and hormone therapy Advantages of continuous regimen for the administration of progestogens, in particular the LNG-IUS, and COCs containing estradiol valerate, to reduce menstrual flow blood loss are presented in the article. The need for a differentiated approach of choosing the therapy based on age, causes of bleeding, and balance benefits and risks of medicines.
