Abstract Artava Vaha Srotas, as described by Maharishi Sushruta in Sharir Sthan (Dhamani Vyakaran Adhyaya), are vital channels in the female reproductive system responsible for the transport of menstrual blood and ovum. These strotas originate from the Garbhashaya (uterus) and the Artava Vahi Dhamani, and their integrity is essential for normal reproductive function. Damage or vitiation of these strotas can manifest as reproductive dysfunctions including sterility, amenorrhea, and copulation intolerance.
Ayurvedic literature identifies Artava as Pushpa, encompassing both menstrual blood discharged monthly and the ovum released from the ovary, termed Antah Pushpa. Eight types of Artava Dushti have been classified based on disturbances by the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—or by Rakta dosha either alone or in combination resulting in pathological states such as Granthibhut Putipuya and Kshin Artava.
This study aims to establish a correlative framework linking Ayurvedic concepts of Artava Vaha Strotas and Artava Dushti with modern gynaecological pathologies. An observational approach was used to assess structural changes and clinical manifestations, providing insights into menstrual irregularities and infertility.
The findings emphasize the importance of integrating classical Ayurvedic knowledge with contemporary medical understanding to offer comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for female reproductive disorders. This interdisciplinary approach facilitates improved patient outcomes by addressing both functional and structural dimensions of Artava Vaha Strotas pathology.
