ABSTRACT

Menstruation is the unique identification of womanhood which occurs around 12 years of age. The shedding of endometrium is called as menstruation. The unpleasant feeling that the part of the person’s body is hurt is called as pain. The pain during the menstruation is called as Dysmenorrhoea. In Ayurvedic classics the Udavarthini Yonivyapat is considered as dysmenorrhoea due to typical feature “pain and Discomfort” during the menstruation. Due to the upward movement of Vata, there is difficult in passage of blood out of the Garbhashaya leading to pain in Udavarthini, and immediately after the proper flow of blood is established, the pain will be relieved. But what according to modern science? Dysmenorrhoea is of two types- Primary and Secondary. The pain is different in both types of Dysmenorrhoea in terms of onset, nature, and cause. Thus the importance of critical analysis of pain in dysmenorrhoea arises.
