ABSTRACT
Labour can be defined as the process by which regular painful contractions bring about effacement & dilatation of the cervix & descent of the presenting part, ultimately leading to expulsion of the fetus and placenta from the mother. „Prasava? or Garbha nishkramana is the function of „Apanavayu?. Along with Apana vayu, vyana vayu also takes part in induction of labour or Aavi (uterine contractions). If function of both these vayus alters then „Aavi? becomes exaggerated or diminished or irregular causing vilambita prasava. So any cause which vitiates apana vayu is cause for abnormal uterine function. The labour is said to be prolonged when the combined duration of first and second stage is more than the arbitrary time limit of 18 hours.
