Artava, a vital reproductive element in women, is intricately described in Ayurvedic literature. Disturbance or diminution of Artava, termed Artava Kshaya, manifests with various gynecological symptoms including oligomenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, or amenorrhea. This study investigates the physiological and clinical aspects of Artava in premenopausal women, focusing on the incidence, etiology, and symptomatology of Artava Kshaya. The findings emphasize the correlation between lifestyle, stress, hormonal imbalance, and the clinical presentation of Artava Kshaya.
