A Critical Review on Artavavaha Srotas as Concept of Female Reproductive System in Ayurveda by Lahange Sandeep Madhukar in IGWHC in Lupine Publishers
According to Ayurveda, health of a female starts in the fetal stage
itself which describes the measures to yield a good female child. The
distinctive anatomical and physiological features of women in each age
group were well studied by the ancient sages of Ayurveda. Just as the
river
is cleansed by its flow the women are purified by the menstrual flow.
That is the reason for the non-susceptibility of women to many diseases.
The regimens to be followed during menstrual and post-menstrual periods
are well advocated in Ayurveda. Disregard to these regimens is the
leading cause for many of the gynecological and systemic diseases in
women. In addition to the systemic diseases, 20 gynecological diseases
are
described, which are explained in the classics under the entity of
Yonivyapad and all the Yoni Roga are the disease of anatomical
components
of Artavavaha Srotas (Reproductive system).
In Ayurveda there is vast description of Artavavaha Srotas in terms
of its moolsthana, Patho-physiology, clinical conditions and their
ayurvedic management. Artavavaha Srotas shows quite similarities with
female reproductive system explained in modern medical science.
Anatomical defects of the reproductive system could be one of the
commonest causes of bad obstetric history. Approximately 12 - 15% of
women with recurrent abortion have uterine malformation. So there is
need of time to elaborate the physio- anatomical and applied ayurvedic
knowledge regarding female reproductive system for better female health.
