Mensuration is a normal process in every woman’s life,but it becomes  horrible when it cause severe pain and  discomfort that can significantly interfere with everyday activities for several days each month.More than half of all girls and women suffer from dysmenorrhoea (cramps) all over the world.

 Widely regarded as the oldest form of healthcare in the world, Ayurveda is a time tested  medical system that originated in India thousands of years ago.

 Being a team of Ayurvedic physicians, we have successfully treated several patients with Ayurvedic medicine who were suffering from this problem and were advised for taking pain killers(NSAIDs),Oral contraceptive pills and even surgeries by allopathic doctors.

What is  Dysmenorrhoea

Ayurveda describes the condition of  Udavartini yonivyapad that  resembles the all type of dysmenorrhea.

Dysmenorrhea is the occurrance of painful cramps during menstruation. Its  a dull or throbbing pain that usually centers in the lower mid-abdomen, radiating toward the lower back or thighs.

Symptoms of Dysmenorrhoea

·        Spasmodic menstrual pain

·         Nausea

·        Vomiting

·        Diarrhea or constipation

·         Headache

·         Dizziness

·         Disorientation

·        Hypersensitivity to sound, light, smell and touch,

·         Fainting and fatigue.

What causes Dysmenorrhoea(Udavartini)?

According to Ayurveda, due to movement of natural urges in reverse direction,the aggravated apana vayu moving inreverse direction fills the uterus.The uterus seized with pain, initially throws or pushes the raja(menstrual blood) upwards, then discharges it with spasmodic pain.

Ayurveda also describes vataj yonivyapad that oligomenorrhoea associated with dysmenorrhoea caused by ras dhatu kshay that create general weekness.

The likelihood that a woman will have cramps increases if she:

• has a family history of painful periods
• leads a stressful life
• lack of exercise
• uses alchohal,caffeine
• has pelvic inflammatory disease

 Dysmenorrhea is called "primary" when there is no specific  pelvic pathology exists and "secondary" when the pain is caused by an underlying gynecological problem. It is believed that primary dysmenorrhea occurs when hormone-like substances called "prostaglandins" produced by uterine tissue trigger strong muscle contractions in the uterus during menstruation.

How to Diagnose dysmenorrhoea

Pelvic examination and USG rule out an underlying condition that could cause cramps.

Yoga for dysmenorrhoea

 "Cat stretch," position, the woman rests on her hands and knees, slowly arching the back. The pelvic tilt is another popular yoga position, in which the woman lies with knees bent, and then lifts the pelvis and buttocks.

Diet for dysmenorrhoea

Dietary recommendations to ease cramps include increasing fiber, calcium, and complex carbohydrates, cutting fat, red meat, dairy products, caffeine, salt, and sugar. Recent research suggests that vitamin B supplements, primarily vitamin B₆ in a complex, magnesium, and fish oil supplements also may help relieve cramps

Management of Dysmenorrhoea

Our Ancient Acharayas has mentioned several classical ayurvedic formulations for the cure of dysmenorrhoea.  Ayurvedic  herbal,classical time tested medicines   cures by establishing the equilibrium of Tridosha(Vata,pitta,kapha)and sapt dhatus (body tissues).

There are several herbs named

·         Ulatkambal beej

·         Gajar beej

·         kumari

·         Sonth

·         Krishan til

·         Jatmansi

·         Shatavari

·         Dasmool

·         Haritaki

·         Asoka

·         Hing

There are several classical preparations

·         Kasis

·         Tankan

·         gulkand

In Ayurveda , each and every patient is an individual entity and the treatment also differs from patient to patient. Rogi Nidaan has its different parameters. It’s not as simple as in modern medicines. Prakriti parikshan, Saar, Sahanan(Compactness), Vyayam shakti(Exercise), Agni (Digestion)all these parameters are  studied by an ayurvedist. An ayurvedist makes a clear picture of the individual by understanding a patient as a whole and also  decides what kind of mode of  preparation to be used for the patient. Panch KashayKalpana(SWARAS(Juice),CHURNA(powder),KALK,HIM,PHANT,)  is based on this principle.

So I emphasis that patient must take the ayurvedic medicine under the guidance of an Ayurvedic physician.

Conclusion

Dysmenorrhoea can be successfully manageable through Ayurveda.

In the world of stress and strain, improper diet, lack of  exercise  and yoga menorrhagia i.e irregular and excessive loss of blood during mensuration  has become a  challenging problem among all age groups including  young girls, working class woman as well as housewives.

Ayurveda describes Asrigdhar yonivyapad which is a condition of abnormal uterine bleeding includes ( Polymenorrhea, Metrorrhagia,metrorrhagia) due to congestion of pelvis/uterus produced by various causes. We have successfully  treated several patients  with Ayurvedic medicines  who were suffering from this problem and were advised for surgeries by allopathic doctors.

Menorrhagia is the most common type of abnormal uterine bleeding characterized by heavy and prolonged menstrual bleeding. In some cases, bleeding may be so severe and relentless that daily activities become interrupted. Other types of abnormal uterine bleeding (also called dysfunctional uterine bleeding) include:

Polymenorrhea	Too frequent menstruation
Metrorrhagia	Any irregular, acyclic non menstrual bleeding from the uterus; bleeding between menstrual periods
Postmenopausal bleeding	Any bleeding that occurs more than one year after the last normal menstrual period at menopause

What are the symptoms of menorrhagia?

In general, bleeding is considered excessive when a woman soaks through enough sanitary products (sanitary napkins or tampons) to require changing every hour. In addition, bleeding is considered prolonged when a woman experiences a menstrual period that lasts longer than seven days in duration. The following are the most common (other) symptoms of menorrhagia. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:

• Spotting or bleeding between menstrual periods
• Spotting or bleeding during pregnancy

What causes menorrhagia?

In Asrigdhar,aggravated pitta covers the vayu and vitiated it,these aggravated doshas influences the rakta(artava/menstrual blood) increase the amount of discharged blood.

There are several possible causes of menorrhagia, including the following:

• Hormonal (particularly estrogen and progesterone) imbalance (especially seen in adolescents who are experiencing their first menstrual period and in women approaching menopause)
• Pelvic inflammatory disease  
• Uterine fibroids
• Abnormal pregnancy (i.e., miscarriage, ectopic)
• Infection, tumors, or polyps in the pelvic cavity
• Certain birth control devices (i.e., intrauterine devices, or IUDs)
• Bleeding or platelet disorders
• High levels of prostaglandins (chemical substances which help to control the muscle contractions of the uterus)
