HELLO DEAR ,
You are 22 and your last period was on 15th July, but this month it hasn’t come. You are also feeling pain near your right kidney, back, and spine, and having trouble while passing urine. At your age, sometimes periods can be missed because of stress, changes in routine, or minor hormonal imbalance. But since you also have pain near your kidney and difficulty passing urine, it is important to check your urinary system to make sure there is no infection or kidney stone.
In Ayurveda, when the energy called Vata and Pitta gets out of balance, it can affect your reproductive and urinary system, leading to missed periods, pain, or trouble passing urine. Gentle medicines and care can help your body restore balance.
Prescription: Hingwashtak Churna 1 tsp with warm water before meals for 3 days (to improve digestion) Gokshuradi Guggulu 1 tablet twice daily after meals for 2–3 weeks (supports urinary system) Punarnavadi Kashayam 40–50 ml twice daily after meals (helps reduce swelling and improves kidney function)
Drink warm water regularly and take a warm sitz bath to make urination easier
Food advice: Drink plenty of warm water Eat cooked vegetables, rice, barley, and mild spices like cumin and coriander Avoid cold drinks, oily, spicy, or packaged foods Avoid too much sugar
Investigations: Urine test (routine and culture) Ultrasound of kidneys and urinary tract Hormone test if periods don’t resume
If you follow the medicines, diet, and take care of hydration, your urine symptoms should improve and your period may return in a few weeks. Keep an eye on pain and urine flow, and if it worsens, see a doctor immediately. With consistency, this treatment is expected to help.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Menstrual irregularities and urinary problems often require a closer look to identify any underlying issues. Given these symptoms, it’s critical to engage with both contemporary and Ayurvedic understandings. The disruption in menstrual cycle, along with urinary difficulties and pain around the kidney area, signals a possible imbalance that needs addressing.
First, it’s crucial to see a healthcare professional to determine if this requires immediate medical attention, especially with the kidney pain, which might be indicative of an infection or a stone. However, from an Ayurvedic perspective, here are some suggestions to complement medical advice:
Urinary issues can be related to an imbalanced Apana Vata, which governs elimination functions. Eating warm foods, incorporating ghee in your meals, and applying a warm compress to the lower abdomen could help pacify Vata. Drink a coriander seed tea by boiling a teaspoon in water as it may soothe urinary tract issues.
For the menstrual irregularity, balancing hormones is key. Ashoka (Saraca asoca) could be helpful - consider a tablet or powder form as suggested by an Ayurveda practitioner. It’s beneficial for maintaining uterine health. Also, maintaining a diet supportive of your menstrual health, such as including sesame seeds, jaggery, and leafy greens, can be supportive.
Kidney-related discomfort might benefit from increased hydration with lukewarm water. The consumption of barley water can be beneficial as well. Avoid foods that are excessively procedureed, sour or spicy as these can aggravate inflammation.
Practice gentle yoga postures to relieve back pain, such as Bhojangasana (cobra pose) and Setu Bandhasana (bridge pose), encouraging proper blood flow and relaxation around the back area. Ensure never to push through pain and keep movements smooth.
Ultimately, these suggestions should not replace medical consultation. It’s paramount you seek professional evaluation to rule out any serious conditions and receive proper care.
Delayed menstruation coupled with issues in urination and pain near the kidney region could suggest an underlying imbalance, possibly affecting the vata dosha which can influence circulation, elimination, and pain perception in the body. While it’s best to consult a healthcare professional for immediate issues like pain, let’s consider a few Ayurvedic angles for general relief.
Addressing urine passage, you might look into boosting fluids in a way that soothes the urinary system. Barley water is traditionally used, as it can help ease urination. Boil a handful of barley in two liters of water, simmer until it’s down to about one liter, and drink this throughout the day. This should help urine flow smoothly.
For managing back pain and considering potential kidney involvement, castor oil may act as a safe external remedy. Warm a little castor oil and massage it gently onto the lower back area. Its anti-inflammatory properties can help alleviate discomfort.
Balancing your lifestyle to support regular menstruation is key. If stress seems to be a trigger, practices like mindful breathing or gentle yoga tailored to your comfort can be beneficial in reducing stress and regulating vata. Make sure to consume warm, nourishing foods — moong dal soup, for example, can be grounding and help regulate the menstrual cycle.
If pain intensifies or you notice symptoms like fever, blood in urine, or severe discomfort, it’s critical to seek medical attention right away, as it may indicate something requiring further medical evaluation. These tips address symptoms, but deeper root causes like potential dietary or lifestyle contributors should ideally be assessed with a practitioner.
