Abstract

The individual human being has its origin in Garbhashya where Shukra & Shonit Sanyog takes place. Thus, role of woman is very important in reproduction, realizing this importance of stree, ayurveda has described her normal anatomy, physiology & her diseases with respect to treatment. In order to give rise to new offspring, female body undergoes menstrual cycle. It involves the shedding of endometrium manifested as Masanumasik Raja Pravrutti i.e., Artava Pravrutti. Due to changes in life style of women in terms of Ahara, Vihara, there is more physical and emotional stress and this may result in Artavadushti, where the normal menstrual cycle gets disturbed or presented in altered form. Background- An unmarried Hindu female patient of 20 years came to SVNH Prasutitantra evum Streeroga OPD on 23/07/2024 with complaints of painful menstruation since yesterday and scanty bleeding during menstruation in every cycle since 1.5 years.
