Abstract

Udavarta Yonivyapad is a Vata-predominant gynecological disorder characterized by the vitiation of Apana Vata, leading to painful menstruation and associated menstrual disturbances. Clinically, it bears close resemblance to dysmenorrhea. Ovarian cysts are commonly accompanied by symptoms such as pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and irregular menstrual cycles, which significantly affect the quality of life in women. In Ayurveda, Basti Chikitsa is considered the prime therapeutic modality for the management of Vata disorders. Among its various forms, Yogabasti—comprising both Anuvasana and Niruha Basti—plays a pivotal role in restoring the normal function of Apana Vata and alleviating gynecological ailments. Keeping this principle in view, an integrated treatment approach involving both Shodhana and Shamana Chikitsa was planned for effective management of the condition.
