ABSTRACT
Pain is one among the prime cause for medical intervention as the word ‘Roga’ (disease) indicates its nature. Dysmenorrhoea1,2 is an disease entity characterized by painful menstruation which is a common gynecological condition that affects approximately 50% of menstruating women, hindering their daily routines3. The disease pathology may incorporate primary as well as secondary dysmenorrhoea. The present case report about an unmarried girl aged 21 years diagnosed as Udavartini Yonivyapat based on clinical symptomatology and VAS scale for objective pain grading was selected and intervened with Matrabasthi with Ksheerabala taila.The treatment was selected for the Vatashamaka, Yoni shula Prashaman, properties of the drugs. The dose was 70 ml per day and the duration of treatment was for 7 days each cycle for two consecutive cycles after the cessation of menstrual bleeding. Results were assessed according to a specially prepared grading system for pain and associated symptoms like Praseka, Chardi,Atisara, and Tamodarshana. Significant improvement was seen in symptoms. There was complete remission of symptoms in consideration of the cardinal symptoms of the disease, while there was marked improvement in the associated symptoms. During the follow up of month,there was no recurrence in the symptoms. The study suggests that Matrabasti is a cost effective, simple and less invasive treatment for relieving the symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea. Further observations in this regard will help to develop definitve treatments for Udavartini Yoni Vyapat through Ayurveda and recommending that more research can be done to confirm the findings of this study.
