Abstract

The texts of Ayurveda often provide a concise anatomical description of the human body in the Sharira Sthana section. According to the works of Acharya Sushruta and Acharya Vagbhata, the concept of Srotasa refers to the intricate channels inside the human body through which the circulation of "Rasadi Poshya Dhatu" takes place, facilitating the distribution of nourishment throughout the whole organism. Acharya Sushruta provided a description of an extra Artavavaha Srotas, consisting of two channels. These channels are rooted in the Garbhashaya (uterus) and Artavavahi Dhamanis (menstrual vessels). Ayurveda provides an extensive account of the Artavavaha Srotas, including its Moolsthana (root site), pathophysiology, clinical symptoms, and corresponding Ayurvedic interventions for care. In Ayurvedic literature, the various gynaecological problems have been comprehensively delineated and categorised as Yoni Vyapads. Twenty yonivyapad have been referenced in many classical works. The occurrence of dysmenorrhea has been seen to exhibit a correlation with udavartini yonivyapad in the context of Ayurveda. Dysmenorrhea, sometimes referred to as dysmenorrheal or menstrual cramps, is the experience of pain occurring in conjunction with the menstrual cycle. The issue often goes undiagnosed and receives inadequate treatment. This review mainly focuses on the role of ArtavaVaha Srotas and Dosha imbalances in Yonivyapad, specifically exploring its connection with endometriosis.
