The diseases related to female genital system are elaborated under umbrella of ‘Yonivyapad’ in Ayurveda.  Vitiated Vatadosha causes pain during menstruation and subsides after menstruation. This condition is explained as Udavartini Yonivyapad in Charaka Samhita. Both Primary dysmenorrhea as per modern gynaecology and Udavartini Yonivyapad from Ayurveda show similarities in their signs and symptoms, especially pain during menstruation. After deliberation of Charaka Samhita, effect of oral administration of Rasnadi Ksheera and local Guduchyadi Kwatha Parisheka were considered for their textual reference on ‘Yonishoola’. For this single arm, open labelled, prospective study; 30 married females between the age of 18 to 42 years with Pratyatma Lakshana (cardinal features) of Udavartini Yonivyapad & signs and symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea were selected. They were given Rasnadi Ksheera 80 ml orally in Apana Kala (i.e. Before lunch & dinner) for two months. Guduchyadi Kwatha Parisheka (Vaginal Douche) was performed in Rutukala for 8 days duration (i.e. from 5th day of menstrual cycle to 12th day of menstrual cycle) for two consecutive cycles. The assessment was done on basis of standard parameters before treatment and after treatment. The subjective parameters such as Spasmodic pain in abdomen, Lumbo-sacral backache, Pain radiating to thigh, Vomiting, Constipation were assessed. The study data generated and collected was put to statistical analysis to reach to the final results and conclusions.  It was concluded that oral administration of Rasnadi Ksheera and local Guduchyadi Kwatha Parisheka were highly effective in symptomatic management of Udavarta Yonivyapad W. S. R. to primary dysmenorrhea.

Introduction: In Indonesia, the incidence of dysmenorrhea is 64.25% consisting of primary dysmenorrhea amounted to 54.89% and secondary dysmenorrhea of 9.36%. Some women experienced menstrual pain or cramps, also known as dysmenorrhea. The purpose of this research was to find out the effect of abdominal massage effleurage on decreasing the pain scale of primary dysmenorrhea. Method: Systematic review using the database: Google Scholar. The search results that meet the criteria were then analyzed for articles. Result: Primary dysmenorrhea pain could be relieved by massage techniques such as abdominal effleurage massage. Conclusion: To deal with dysmenorrhea pain, it is advisable for young women not to consume it immediately pharmacological drugs but using massage therapy such as massage effleurage abdomen.

Cross Sectional

The present study analyses the management of primary dysmenorrhea by university students in the south of Spain. In this cross-sectional observational study, 224 women participated, using an ad hoc self-report questionnaire about menstrual pain and self-care and including sociodemographic and gynecological variables. Some 76.8% of participants consumed analgesics and the majority self-medicated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) without consulting a health professional, with a correlation between pain intensity and the number of pills ingested during menstruation (r = 0.151, p < 0.05). The higher proportion of women who found their analgesia effective were those who took medication after being prescribed by a health care provider (60.8%) compared to those who self-medicated (40%; p < 0.01). Only 43.8% employed non-pharmaceutical methods, most commonly antalgic positions, massages and local heat. These choices were not related to the intensity of menstrual pain nor with the severity of the dysmenorrhea, nor did these most common methods prove to be the most effective. However, a higher percentage of women using non-pharmacological methods was identified in women with family members suffering from dysmenorrhea (73.2%) compared to those without (60%; p = 0.040), which may indicate that the choice of remedies is more related to learning self-care in the family context. This study identifies the need for education on self-care and management of menstrual pain.

Electrical skin resistance (ESR) measurements were performed with a four-electrode impedance detector at 10 points bilaterally on the first day of and the third day after menstruation in 48 healthy volunteers and 46 primary dysmenorrhea (PD) patients, to assess whether ESR changes of acupuncture points can reflect menstrual pain or not. The results showed statistical reductions in ESR imbalance ratio between left and right side that were detected at SP8 (Diji) and GB39 (Xuanzhong) (P<0.05), and a statistical increase was detected at SP6 (Sanyinjiao) (P=0.05) on the first day of menstruation compared with those values on the third day after menstruation in dysmenorrhea group. No significant differences were detected at other points within and between two groups (P>0.05). This study showed that the imbalance of ESR at uterine-relevant points in PD patients is not significantly different from those of healthy women on both the 1st day of and the 3rd day after menstruation. The ESR imbalance ratio of certain points can either be lower or higher during menstruation in PD patients. The ESR property of acupuncture points needs to be investigated in further clinical trials with appropriate points, diseases, larger sample sizes, and optimal device.
