- Brief Summary
Dysmenorrhoeais the most common gynecological problem faced by female during adolescencewhich causes significant discomfort and anxiety for the woman as well asfamily. Primary Dysmenorrhoea is described as a pain that is of uterine originand directly linked to menstruation but with no visible pelvic pathology. Theincidence of Primary Dysmenorrhoea of sufficient magnitude with incapacitationis about 15-20%. Primary Dysmenorrhoea is extremely common, especially amongadolescents, as many as 90% of adolescent females and above 50% of menstruatingwomen worldwide report suffering from it, with 10-20% of them describing theirhurt as sever and distressing.
Inthe classics of *Ayurveda*, Dysmenorrhoeais mentioned as symptom in many disorders like *VatalaYonivyapada, Sannipatiki Yonivyapada, Paripluta Yonivyapada, Mahayoni,Udavartini Yonivyapada, Antarmukhi Yonivyapada, Suchimukhi Yonivyapada.*
The main cause of Primary Dysmenorrhoea (*Krichhartava**)* is vitiation of *Vatadosha* (*Apana* and *VyanaVata*) which should be correctedthrough the drugs of *Vatashamaka* and *Vatahara* properties.
*Krichhartava* has strong relation with *Vata Dosha* because pain does not occur without vitiation of *Apana Vata Dushti*. As normalmenstruation is the attributed to the *ApanavayuKarma* and hence painful menstruation is related with the vitiation of *Vata* especially the *Apana Vayu,* so painful menstruation is related is considered as *Apana Vata Dushti*.
