ABSTRACT:

Ovulation is the release of ovum from a matured Graafian follicle. Menstruation is not related to ovulation. Though menstrual cycles are regular, they can be anovular. Anovulatory cycles are generally painless and with excessive bleeding. The diseases like polycystic ovarian syndrome or disease (PCOS) and Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) have anovulatory cycles. Anovulatory cycles are one of the common causes for infertility. Chronic anovulatory cycles may cause endometrial carcinoma due to unopposed estrogens, deficient progesterone and thus endometrial hyperplasia with excessive bleeding. Hence there is a great need for treating anovulatory cycles. There is also a disturbance of Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Ovarian axis. As nasya or nasal route of medicine may stimulate this axis, any vatahara taila may be used in anovulatory cycles, thus can simultaneously treat infertility that occurred due to anovulatory cycles. In the present article, effect of marsha and pratimarsha nasya in inducing ovulation is discussed.

KEY WORDS: Ovulation, H-P-O axis, PCOS, DUB, marsha nasya, pratimarsha nasya, infertility
