Background

Uttaravasti is a treatment procedure which is beneficial in various gynaecological ailments and has superior qualities (1) when compared to oral medication and other therapies. This study aims to evaluate the role of Uttaravasti in the management of secondary amenorrhoea.

Method

This case series includes 5 patients who underwent Uttaravasti for induction of menstruation from October 2024 to September 2025 in the O.P.D of V.P.S.V Ayurveda College Hospital, Kottakkal. The outcome of the study was assessed on the basis of induction of menstruation in secondary amenorrhoea.

Results

In all participants, the positive outcome of treatment in the form of induction of menstruation was observed which indicated the efficacy of Uttaravasti in the less explored area of induction of menstruation. The study reveals the potential of Ayurvedic therapy to induce menstruation within a short period of time.</p>
