[Opening paragraph - describing normal/pure menstrual blood (Aartav Shuddha)]
That which is secreted at an interval of one month, is free from slipperiness (picchilata), burning sensation, and pain, lasts for five days, and is in colour like the gunja fruit, lotus, alaktaka (lac dye), indragopa (a red insect), or the blood of a rabbit - and whose quantity is neither too much nor too little - that is called pure (Shuddha) Aartav (menstrual blood).
[Section heading]
The description of diseases related to Aartav (menstruation) and the menstrual cycle is covered under the chapter of Aartav Vyapad (menstrual disorders). The following diseases are described within it:
  1. Ashtaartavadushti - Eight types of vitiation of menstrual blood
  2. Nashtartav / Anartav - Absent or suppressed menstruation (Amenorrhoea)
  3. Aartavakshaya - Scanty menstruation (Hypomenorrhoea)
  4. Aartavavridhi - Excessive menstruation (Menorrhagia / Hypermenorrhoea)
  5. Asrigdar - Abnormal uterine bleeding (Metrorrhagia)
[Explanatory paragraph]
When the doshas (bodily humours) are aggravated, the Aartav (menstrual blood) becomes impure (dushit) and is secreted in a manner different from its natural colour, smell, and quantity - this is called Aartavadushti. It is of eight types, arising from single-dosha, rakta-dosha (blood vitiation), dvandvaja (two-dosha combination), and sannipata (all three doshas combined).
When the path of the Aartav is obstructed by aggravated doshas, and menstruation stops appearing - this is called Nashtartav or Anartav (amenorrhoea).
A decrease in the quantity of Aartav is called Aartavakshaya (hypomenorrhoea).
Excessive secretion of Aartav is called Aartavavridhi (menorrhagia).
Secretion of Aartav outside the menstrual period, or in excessive quantity - this is called Asrigdar (metrorrhagia / abnormal uterine bleeding).
[Closing paragraph]
These diseases affect a woman both physically and mentally. As complications arising from them, there can be pain, weakness, dizziness, fainting, anaemia (Pandurog), infertility (Bandhyatva), and other Vata-related disorders. Therefore, proper diagnosis and treatment of these diseases is essential for women's health.
Context: This is from an Ayurvedic textbook discussing Menstrual Disorders (Aartav Vyapad), describing classical Ayurvedic classifications of gynaecological conditions with their Sanskrit terminology equivalents to modern diagnoses like amenorrhoea, hypomenorrhoea, menorrhagia, and metrorrhagia.
