HEALTHY MENSTRUATION – BASE TO REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

Abstract

India is one of the developing countries and is highly influenced by the Western lifestyle, which has greatly affected the reproductive health of both male and female. Ayurveda considered as “Ayushaha Punyatamo Veda” describes 3 supporting pillars for healthy living known as the “Trayopastambha”. The 3 pillars include Ahara (Dietary regimens), Nidra (Sleep) and Brahmacharya- Jnanayukta Acharana (the righteous deeds). The intention of writing this article is to throw a light on the fact that the menstrual health is the key to prevent the major reproductive disorders including infertility. A survey study was conducted to establish the relationship between Trayopastambha (3 pillars of healthy living) and menstrual health. The data was found to prove that the impaired lifestyle impacts menstrual health. Hence, the role of customized lifestyle which a female can adopt in preventing various female reproductive system disorders are discussed in the article.
