A regular cycle depends on the unhindered movement of Apana Vayu. Irregular periods (Artava Dushti) occur when this wind is erratic. Delayed/Scanty: Indicates Vata aggravation (dryness and constriction in the channels).Heavy/Prolonged: Indicates Pitta aggravation (excess heat causing the blood to flow too freely).

Growth in the uterus, such as fibroids (Garbhashaya Granthi) or endometriosis, represents a severe aggravation of Kapha and Rakta (blood tissue). The text Sushruta Samhita describes this as Granthi, a "knot" or hardening of the tissue. When the surrounding muscle tissue loses its intelligence due to accumulated toxins, it begins to grow incorrectly. This is often painful because the "knot" obstructs the free movement of Vata, causing sharp, spasmodic pain.

PCOD is not just a reproductive issue; it is a metabolic disorder. In Ayurveda, this is often classified as a condition of Kapha-Vata Avarana (Blockage). Due to sluggish metabolism (Manda Agni), heavy and sticky toxins form (Kapha). This heaviness blocks the path of Vata in the pelvic region. Because the flow is obstructed, the follicles cannot rupture and release an egg. Instead, they accumulate and harden into cysts, much like water stagnating behind a dam.
