− | • If this indirect vitiation is by the influence of pitta, it leads to increase in menstrual bleeding. It is mainly because of the increase in fluidity(dravatva) and flowing nature(saratva) of [[pitta]].But if the properties like hotness(ushnatva) and sharpness(teekshnatva) are increased, then it leads to destruction of body tissues([[dhatu]] kshaya) and thus the quantity of menstrual discharge also gets decreased.[A.S.Uttara Sthana 38/47]

− | • The pathology of excessive menstrual bleeding (asrugdara) is explained as the occlusion of apana vayu with [[pitta]] (pittavruta apana).[Su. Sa. Nidana Sthana 1/37]

− | • The obstructive pathology due to kapha usually leads to decrease in the fuction due increase in the properties like coldness[[sheeta]], dullness/slowness[[manda]] and immobility[[sthiratva]]. While explaining the pathology of secondary amenorrhoea(artava nasha), it is clarified that the [[dosha]] causing the occlusion of [[vata]] here is either [[kapha]] or another form of [[vata]] itself, but not[[pitta]].[Dalhana commentary on Su.Sa. Sharira Sthana 2/21]
