ABSTRACT

Menstruation, a complex cyclic phenomenon, is an inevitable natural occurrence in any girl’s life. Menstrual disorders form a significant proportion of the adult female population. Discomfort during menstruation ranges from mild to severe pain that incapacitate the patient. Mild discomfort occurs in majority of women. But few suffers from severe pain. Prevalence of dysmenorrhea is 70.2% the prevalence of primary dysmenorrhea decreases with increasing age. Prevalance is the higher in the 20 to 24 year old age group and decreases thereafter. In modern medicine, Dysmenorrhea is treated by analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) which are active inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis. Since long term consumption of NSAID is having its own health hazards, an alternate treatment modality is tried with Ayurveda, dashamoola siddha Ksheera basti and dashamoola Taila Matra basti is administered for 2 consecutive cycles and its effects were studied according to specially designed case format, it showed that Dashamoola siddha ksheera Basti is better than Dashamoola Taila Matra Basti in the management of Udavarta Yonivyapada (primary dysmenorrhea).
