Ayurveda refers yoni as female reproductive organs and vyapad means disorders or ailments related to those organs. Yonivyapad are the disorders occuring in female body which hampers the proper functioning of the female reproductive system. Ayurveda have basic principles that emphasise on maintaining the balance of three doshas i.e. Vata, Pitta and Kapha for healthy body and mind. Vatajyonivyapad can be understood as the disorders caused by the disrupted balance of Vata Dosha in the body. Vata is responsible for all the bodily movements. Regulation of menstrual cycle, maintenance of hormonal production and their blood levels, etc is the action of Vata Dosha. Imbalance of Vata Dosha results in disturbed functioning on several levels leading to various gynaecological disorders. This systematic review aims to explore the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and treatment modules of Vatajyonivyapad. By integrating knowledge from classical texts and modern medicine. The goal of this review is to provide a holistic perspective on the management of Vatajyonivyapad, highlighting the importance of Ayurveda in addressing women's health issues.
