Abstract

Introduction: Dysmenorrhoea is defined as painful cramps that occur with menstruation incapacitating enough to interfere with routine activity. Dysmenorrhea is an important health problem of adolescents in school, as well as health practitioners, that badly affects the daily activities and quality of life. Dysmenorrhoea can be correlated with Udavartini Yonivyapad in Ayurveda. Methodology: In this present case study, a 21 years old female patient consulted to the OPD with the complaint of pain in lower abdomen, back pain, nausea and vomiting during menses. Her ultrasonography (USG) was done which was normal. She was supposed to be treated with Sahacharadi Taila Matra Basti; the case was treated for three months with the goal of relieving symptoms. Result: Basti was given for 5 days every month for 3 consecutive cycles. Symptoms of patient were relieved and she had pain free menstruation after three cycles of treatment. Follow-up was done after every cycle. Discussion: The present study emphasizes the role of Ayurveda in bringing a positive result in the management of Primary Dysmenorrhea.
