HELLO ASHA,
You are likely in the perimenopausal or early menopausal stage, which is a natural transition that typically occurs between ages 45 and 55. During this time, hormones levels (mainly estrogen and progesterone) fluctuate before eventually decreasing. This leads to the symptoms you’re experiencing
COMMON CHANGES YOU DESCRIBED -irregular or stopped menstrual cycles -abdominal and pelvic Pai (before and after periods) -cysts on the ovary (like oestrogen-driven) -calcified fibroids (non cancerous growths in the uterus) -discomfort when periods are delay
In Ayurveda, this phase of life is called “Rajonivritti” (cessation of menstruation) and is usually dominated by Vata dosha- responsible for movement and nervous system activity. When Vata becomes imbalanced, it can cause -irregular cycles -pain -sleep problems -dryness -anxiety
Because you also have fibroids and cyst, kapha and pitta imbalances may also be involved. So, we aim to balance vata while clearing excess kapha/pitta
TREATMENT GOALS -Balance hormones= to regulate cycle and ease transition -reduce pain and inflammation= for better comfort and quality of life -shrink/maintain fibroid and cyst size= prevent further complications -improve overall vitality= support this new phase of life with strength -avoid unnecessary medications/surgery= as long as symptoms are manageable naturally

Hello Asha, navigating perimenopause can be challenging, and it sounds like you’re managing multiple symptoms and conditions. Ayurveda offers several strategies to address the symptoms you’re facing. Let’s discuss some personalized approaches.
Regarding your irregular cycles and abdominal pain, Ayurveda views this through the lens of Vata imbalance, particularly Apana Vata, which governs pelvic functions. Regularity and warmth are essential. Start by including warming spices like ginger and cinnamon in your diet. Fenugreek tea, taken once daily, can also support menstrual regularity.
Concerning the ovary cyst and calcified fibroids, while Ayurveda might not resolve these without surgical intervention, dietary and holistic practices can help manage symptoms. Triphala, a traditional Ayurvedic remedy, can aid detoxification and balance your hormones. Consider taking it 1 hour before bed in a warm water.
As for the symptoms of menopause, herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari can be beneficial. Shatavari in particular is known for balancing hormones and may help ease hot flashes and mood swings. Start with 1/4 teaspoon of Shatavari powder mixed in warm milk, once daily in evening.
Exercise is essential, and your walking routine is excellent. You can add gentle yoga or pranayama practice in your daily routine to calm the mind and balance the Vata dosha, especially focusing on forward bends and twists.
About Shilajit, it’s generally safe and beneficial for supporting stamina and energy during menopause, but one should ensure it’s a pure source. Start with a quarter pea-sized amount in warm milk or water.
Avoid cold foods and drinks as much as possible as they can aggravate Vata. Also, ensure your diet is rich in iron, calcium, and vitamin D, considering your history of fibroids.
Finally, please continue to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to monitor your cysts and fibroids regularly. For any acute symptoms, it’s wise to seek immediate medical attention.
Experiencing perimenopause and menopause can bring about a myriad of challenges. From an Ayurvedic perspective, it’s essential to focus on vata balance, as it often becomes aggravated during the perimenopause phase. Vata imbalance can lead to irregular cycles, and the associated pain, making it crucial to address through diet, lifestyle, and herbs.
Firstly, make sure to have warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest, which helps in balancing vata. Consider incorporating more healthy fats like ghee, coconut oil, and nuts in your diet. They are nourishing and help in maintaining tissue strength which is often depleted during menopause.
Herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari can be particularly beneficial. Ashwagandha helps in reducing stress levels, while Shatavari nourishes and supports the reproductive system, improving overall hormonal balance. You might take them in powdered form—mix 1 teaspoon with warm milk or water daily.
With fibroids, it’s good to eat more vegetables like broccoli and cabbage while reducing red meat, caffeine, and alcohol. These can exacerbate fibroid growth and symptoms.
You can continue using Shilajit, but moderation is key—it’s quite potent and might best in small doses like once or twice a week, particularly as it helps with overall energy levels.
Your routine of walking is commendable! It’s crucial to continue as it promotes circulation and alleviates vata issues. Increasing the steps gradually could also be beneficial, aiming for more consistent 8000 steps daily.
Remember, maintaining regular sleep patterns and managing stress through meditation or yoga can do wonders for managing symptoms. Sometimes personalized guidance is needed, so consulting a local practitioner who combines Ayurvedic principles with an understanding of modern treatments can also be of great help. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consider seeking further evaluation from a healthcare professional.
