- In this condition, menstruation is associated with excruciating abdominal pain.
- Nausea, diarrhoea or heavy blood loss may co-exist with dysmenorrhoea.

- This improperly digested food leads to the production of toxins in the body
- These toxins enter the blood and are circulated by blood to deep tissues and channels.
- It results in blockage and stagnation resulting in a Dhatwagni mandhya.
- As a result of this, Vata dosha and Raktha dhatu get vitiated.
- The vitiated Vata, in turn, vitiates the blood, and hence the blood in channels carrying the Raja (menstrual blood) gets vitiated leading to menstrual disorders.
