Ayurveda describes the imbalance of the Dosha due to changes in seasons. Kashtārtava is among the few diseases which can be attributed to changed life styles. Of the three Doshās the Vayu is most important in genesis of genital tract disease specially Kashtārtava. If we go through the Prakriti wise distribution of menstruation, the Vata Prakriti women will have irregular, scanty flow and associated dysmenorrhoea as classical features. In Ayurvedic classics all gynaecological problems are described under the umbrella of Yonivyapada. The disease ‘Kashtārtava’ is not described in classics as well as in Vedas as an individual disease entity. Though it is a symptom of various Yonivyapadas specially Udavarta, Vatala, Sanipatika etc. It is one of the commonest gynaecological complains. It is a Tridoshaja Vyādhi with Vata predominance. In this specially there is derangement of Apana and Vyana Vayu. The next consideration is the vitiation of Rasa Dhatu. In this present study, primary dysmenorrhoea is considered as a classical feature and a part of disease Kashtārtava.From the treatment point of view, Uttarbasti has the added benefit of increasing Ojas, replenishing the hormonal system and promoting fertility. This treatment also gives vibrant energy to the female organs and excellent in Vatashamaka. Thus, this procedure is being selected in the present study. In other groups oral drugs are selected. Now-a-days, in modern medicine NSAIDs, antispasmodic and analgesic are used regularly in every cycle for dysmenorrhoea. It also causes various side effects due to regular use. Further it is not a permanent solution to the ailment. The present study is aimed at finding out a method of treatment, which will impart a permanent cure without any side effects. Thus, a clinical study is planned.

Kashtārtava, Uttarbasti, Yonivyapadas, etc.
