Abstract

According to Ayurvedic Samhitas, Srotas is a structural and functional unit of the body. Srotas are the hollow spaces or channels which are responsible for any movement or transformation. There are many types of Srotas mention by Acharyas. Maharshi Charaka explains Srotas as a medicinal aspect and Maharshi Sushruta explains Srotas according to surgical aspect. Artavavaha Srotas is Antarmukh Srotas which are also known as Yogawahi Srotas. It is similar to the female reproductive system in modern medical science. As per Maharshi Sushruta, Artavavaha Srotas are two in number and their Moolsthana is Garbhashaya and Artavavahi Dhamanya. Any trauma to this Srotas causes Bhandhayatva (infertility), Artavanasha (amenorrhea) and Maithuna Asahishnuta (dyspareunia). In this study description of Ayurvedic concept along with discussion regarding the patho-clinical perspective of Artavavaha Srotas and its Viddha Lakshan in light of modern science.
