Abstract:
Background:
Perumpaadu, a common gynecological condition in Siddha medicine, corresponds to Menorrhagia or Functional Uterine Bleeding in modern terminology. It is characterized by excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding, often leading to secondary complications like anemia and fatigue. Padiga Linga Chendooram, a herbo-mineral formulation containing purified Alum (Padikaram) and Red Mercuric Sulphide (Lingam), is traditionally indicated for its potent styptic and uterine tonic properties.

Objective:
This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic potential of Padiga Linga Chendooram in regulating the menstrual cycle and reducing excessive blood loss in patients diagnosed with Perumpaadu.

Methodology:
The research explores the traditional preparation methods of the Chendooram according to classical Siddha texts. It involves a clinical assessment of patients exhibiting symptoms of Vatha and Pitha derangement—the primary humors involved in Perumpaadu. Parameters for evaluation include the duration of bleeding, number of pads used, and hemoglobin levels before and after the treatment period (typically one or two menstrual cycles).

Results:
Preliminary clinical observations suggest that Padiga Linga Chendooram significantly reduces the flow and duration of menstruation. The Thuvarthal (astringent) property of Padikaram works synergistically with the stabilizing effects of Lingam to achieve hemostasis. Patients reported a reduction in associated symptoms such as pelvic pain and general debility, with no significant adverse effects when administered in the prescribed dosage with suitable adjuncts (Anupanam).

Conclusion:
Padiga Linga Chendooram serves as an effective, non-hormonal Siddha intervention for the management of Perumpaadu. Its ability to restore humoral equilibrium and provide rapid symptomatic relief makes it a viable alternative to conventional treatments. Further large-scale pharmacological studies are recommended to standardize the dosage and validate its safety profile.
