A COMPARATIVE CLINICAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF AAROHANA AND SADHARANA KRAMA MATRABASTI IN THE MANAGEMENT OF UDAVARTINI W.S.R. TO PRIMARY DYSMENORRHEA

Udavartini Yonivyapad, described in Ayurveda, corresponds to primary dysmenorrhea in modern medicine. It occurs due to vitiation of Vata dosha, particularly Apana Vata, leading to upward movement of menstrual flow. This results in painful, spasmodic menstruation without any pelvic pathology. Improper diet, suppression of natural urges, and stress aggravate Vata and causes its imbalance. Although oral contraceptives and NSAID’s provide notable relief but there prolonged use leads to systemic side effects. In present study effort is made to compare the effect of Arohana Krama and Sadharana Krama Matra Basti with Murchita tila taila in the management of Udavartini. Minimum of 40 patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria, were randomly distributed into 2 groups of 20 patients each. Both the groups show statistically significant results.
