Abstract
Puberty is said to be delayed in a female when she has not achieved thelarche at the age of 13 years or has not attained menarche up to 16 years of age in presence of secondary sexual characters. Various factors are responsible for this. Besides chromosomal or genetic and anatomical causes, constitutional delay is one of the causes. Malnourishment may be responsible for this. Chromosomal and anatomic causes have limited scope of treatment, whereas constitutional delay resolves itself or requires supportive management. Improvement of general health can help in its treatment. Considering ayurvedic literature, the concept of delayed menarche is not described exactly, but if we go through areas of Jataharini, Yonivyapad or Artava dushti some conditions related to this can be found. Also, if we take into account the treatment prescribed, it can be applied.
