In his purview it is the local injury to organs of reproductive system which may be due to excessive coitus, repeated curettage, LSCS and thereby, which may result in pelvic adhesions, local infections, tubal block, etc. ultimately leading to <em>Maithunaasahishnutha </em>(dyspareunia). In this study 20 women who were diagnosed as Maitunaasahisnutha<em> </em>selected<em> </em>for assessment of predominant <em>Prakruti </em>based on physiological and anatomical triats. From the statistical analysis it is evident that <em>Kaphaprakruti</em> were more prone for <em>Maithunaashasinutha</em>.</p>}, number={2}, journal={AYUSHDHARA}, author={Gopal, *Uma B and H N, Swapna}, year={2017}, month={Sep.} }
