Abstract

The most typical menstrual symptom among teenage girls and women is dysmenorrhea. One might categorize dysmenorrhea as primary or secondary. It is described as lower abdominal cramps that happen either right before or right during menstruation. Living in luxury, not exercising, and consuming greasy, spicy, and salty cuisine are the root causes of this problem. Pain is the main feature of Kruccha raja. Pelvic illness is usually assumed to be present when menstruation-related pain presents as primary dysmenorrhea. This can be connected to Kruccha raja. Since Kruccha raja is a vata kapha pradhana vyadhi, it mostly holds the vata dosha. Vata prakopa and raja krichratha are the outcome of kapha prakopa, pratiloma gati of apana vayu, and kapha's blockage of the srotas. This case study includes a 30-year-old lady whose primary complaints have been slightly polycystic ovaries for five months, painful and irregular menstruation for two year. Dysmenorrhea due to menstruation is seen in the patient. USG scan indicated No any fibroid or polycystic ovaries. Lekhana basti was administered in yoga basti after obtaining her consent. Result found was pain during menstruation reduced drastically and irregularity in menstruation was also corrected. In this single case study concept of Kruccha raja a w.s.r to primary dysmenorrhea along with treatment course is explained. This case study proves that ayurvedic management plays a vital role in reducing the major symptoms.
