ABSTRACT:
Background: Artava Kshaya is one of the menstrual disorders, characterized by Yathochita Kaala Adarshanam, Alpartavata & Yonivedana which indicates delayed menstruation, scanty menstrual discharge both in amount and duration, associated with pain in lower abdomen or vagina. These features resemble the features of Oligo-hypomenorrhea in modern parlance. Shodhana plays an important role in correction of Srotovaigunyata & maintains equilibrium of Doshas by purifying body. Objectives: To compare the efficacy of Vamana Karma and Virechana Karma in management of Artava Kshaya. Method and Materials: Randomized, open labelled, double arm clinical study. A minimum of 50 patients fulfilling the diagnostic and inclusion criteria were randomly selected for clinical study and they were assigned into 2 group i.e., Group A of Vamana Karma with Madanaphaladi Yoga and Group B of Virechana Karma with Icchabhedi Rasa each consisting of 25 patients. Results: Vamana Karma with Madanaphaladi Yoga showed clinically better results in terms of reduction in intermenstrual period, increased duration of menses, increased quantity of blood loss and reduced pain. So, improvement and more relief were observed in this group when compared to Virechana with Icchabhedi Rasa.
