Udavarta Yonivyapad is a Vata-pradhana disorder characterized by painful menstruation due to vitiated Apana Vata. Clinically, it resembles dysmenorrhea. Ovarian cysts are often present with dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, and menstrual irregularities. Basti Chikitsa is considered the Ardhachikitsa for Vata disorders, and Yogabasti, a combination of Anuvasana and Niruha Basti, is specifically indicated for regulating Apana Vata therefore Shodhan chikitsa and shaman chiktsa were planned. Aim: To evaluate the effect of Yogabasti Chikitsa in females with ovarian cyst presenting predominantly with symptoms of Sashul rajapravrutti (Udavarta Yonivyapad). Objectives: To evaluate the effect of Yogabasti Chikitsa in a case of Udavarta Yonivyapad associated with ovarian cyst. Materials and Methods: - A 20-year-old female patient presenting with Painful Menstruation and irregular periods since menarche and diagnosed ovarian cyst on ultrasonography was treated with Yogabasti and Shaman Chikitsa. Assessment was done using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain and ultrasonographic findings before and after treatment. Significant reduction in pain intensity & Follow-up ultrasonography revealed resolution of cyst. Yogabasti was effective in managing Udavarta Yonivyapad and also showed potential benefit in resolving the ovarian cyst.
