Concerns About Delayed Periods and Symptoms After Ayurvedic Treatment - #46584

Client_1e4532
$5.85

I am a 23-year-old female. This is my 3rd month of no periods; my last proper period was in early September. I was diagnosed with PCOD last year. My periods have always been irregular. I consulted an Ayurvedic doctor for delayed periods and have been taking Rajpravartini Vati, Ashokarishta, Avipattikar Churna and Arogyavardhini Vati for about 10 days now, as advised, to induce periods.However, my periods have still not started. For the last 4–5 days, I am experiencing lower back pain, pelvic pain, inner thigh pain, and a bit vaginal dryness, but there is no bleeding or normal discharge yet. I would like to know: Is it normal for periods to be delayed this long in even after taking Ayurvedic medicines? Are these symptoms a sign that periods may start? How long should I continue the current medicines safely?

How long have you been experiencing the current symptoms?:

- Less than 1 week

Have you noticed any specific triggers for your symptoms?:

- Stress

How would you describe your overall menstrual health prior to this situation?:

- Very irregular

Hello I totally get why you’re worried and confused. It’s tough when your period is still missing even after starting meds. But honestly, what you’re going through is super common with PCOD, and it doesn’t mean your treatment isn’t working.

YOUR CONCERN AGE 23-year-old woman. Condition: Diagnosed with PCOD last year. Current problem: Haven’t had a proper period in about 3 months (last one was early September). Meds: Been on Ayurvedic medicine for 10 days: Rajpravartini Vati, Ashokarishta, Avipattikar Churna, and Arogyavardhini Vati.

New symptoms (last 4-5 days): Lower back pain, pelvic pain, inner thigh pain, and a little bit of vaginal dryness. Still no bleeding.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, delayed periods with PCOD usually happen because of:

–Apana Vata dushti: This is like your body’s downward flow being outta whack. –Kapha + Meda avarana: Think of it as a blockage from hormones and metabolism. –Artava vaha srotas avarodha:Blocked menstrual channels.

The medicines you’re taking are supposed to:

–Clear out those blockages. –Help your digestion and liver work better. –Kickstart that downward flow. –Slowly get your hormones back on track.

Just remember, this treatment isn’t magic. It doesn’t work overnight, especially if your periods have been unpredictable for ages.

Let’s clear up your questions:

1. Is it normal my period hasn’t started after 10 days?

Yes, totally normal. With PCOD, 10 days is often way too soon. It usually takes about 2-4 weeks. Sometimes that first period takes even longer, but then things get better. Ayurveda tries to fix the main problem, not just force a period.

2. Are these new symptoms a sign my period might start soon?

Definitely, good chance! That pelvic heaviness, lower back pain, and inner thigh pain are classic signs that your body is trying to get things going.

However, with PCOD, it might still take a bit longer for everything to kick in. The vaginal dryness means your Vata energy is high, which can also slow things down a little. So, these are indeed pre-menstrual signs, but the exact timing can differ.

3. How long can I safely keep taking these meds? 1.Rajpravartini Vati: Usually okay for 4-5 weeks 2.Ashokarishta: You can often keep taking this for 2-3 months. 3.Avipattikar Churna:Good for digestion and hormones, safe to take every day. 4.Arogyavardhini Vati: Typically for 4-6 weeks, then your doctor will check in.

Also add M2 tone capsule 1-0-1 after food

Do NOT take more than prescribed. If you still don't get your period after 30-40 days, you might need another check-up, but don't freak out.

Here’s what you should do right now:

Help your medicines work better: * Only drink warm water. * Stay away from cold foods, yogurt, bakery stuff, and junk food. * Eat your meals on time. * Go for gentle walks daily. * Don’t stay up late. * Put a hot water bag on your stomach once a day.

❌Things to avoid: * Lots of stress (it’s a huge problem for PCOD). * Fasting too much. * Too much exercise. * Googling scary stuff.

When should you tell your doctor again?

* If you still have no period after 4-5 weeks. * If you get really bad pain or sudden heavy bleeding. * If you feel dizzy or super weak.

You’re young, and this is completely manageable. PCOD doesn’t get better overnight; it needs patience, consistency, and a good routine. What you’re feeling now actually shows your body is responding, just slowly.

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

🌸 Your Current Symptoms - Pelvic pain, lower back pain, inner thigh pain, and dryness can sometimes be premenstrual signs, but they can also occur due to hormonal imbalance or stress. - These symptoms don’t guarantee that bleeding will start soon, but they do suggest your body is responding to internal changes.

🌸 Safety of Continuing Medicines: - Ayurvedic medicines are usually taken for several weeks to months, not just 10 days, to show effect.

- If after 3–4 weeks there is still no period, it’s important to revisit your Ayurvedic doctor or a gynecologist to rule out other causes (thyroid, prolactin, pregnancy, uterine lining issues).

Also add: Shatavari granules 1 tsp twice daily with warm milk after meals

YES ,IN CASES OF LONG STANDING IRREGULAR PERIODS AND PCOD IT IS COMPLETELY NORMAL FOR PERIODS TO REMAIN DELAYED EVEN AFTER STARTING AYURVEDIC MEDICINES TEN DAYS IS ACTUALLY A VERY SHORT DURATION AYURVEDIC MEDICINES DO NOT FORCE BLEEDING LIKE HORMONAL TABLETS THEY FIRST CORRECT APANA VATA AGNI AND OVARIAN FUNCTION AND ONLY AFTER THAT DOES BLEEDING START SO THIS DELAY DOES NOT MEAN THE MEDICINES ARE NOT WORKING

THE SYMPTOMS YOU ARE EXPERIENCING LOWER BACK PAIN PELVIC PAIN INNER THIGH PAIN AND MILD VAGINAL DRYNESS ARE VERY COMMON PREMENSTRUAL SIGNS IN AYURVEDA THESE INDICATE THAT APANA VATA IS GETTING ACTIVATED AND THE UTERUS IS RESPONDING HOWEVER IN PCOD SUCH SYMPTOMS MAY APPEAR FOR SOME DAYS BEFORE ACTUAL BLEEDING STARTS AND SOMETIMES THE BODY TAKES MORE TIME TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS

RAJPRAVARTINI VATI HELPS INITIATE MENSTRUATION ASHOKARISHTA SUPPORTS UTERINE HEALTH AND HORMONAL BALANCE AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA KEEPS DIGESTION CLEAR WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR HORMONAL FUNCTION AROGYAVARDHINI VATI HELPS METABOLISM AND ROOT LEVEL CORRECTION OF PCOD

THIS COMBINATION IS APPROPRIATE BUT IN MOST PCOD CASES MEDICINES NEED TO BE CONTINUED FOR THREE TO FOUR WEEKS NOT JUST TEN DAYS PROVIDED THERE ARE NO SIDE EFFECTS LIKE EXCESSIVE HEAT BURNING SENSATION SEVERE ACIDITY OR LOOSE MOTIONS IF NONE OF THESE ARE PRESENT THE MEDICINES ARE GENERALLY SAFE TO CONTINUE UNDER GUIDANCE

IN DELAYED PERIODS EVEN WHEN MEDICINES ARE CORRECT CONSTANT WORRY AND FEAR DIRECTLY DISTURB APANA VATA AND CAN FURTHER DELAY BLEEDING SO MENTAL CALM IS ALSO PART OF TREATMENT

WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT NOT IMMEDIATE BLEEDING LIKE ALLOPATHIC WITHDRAWAL FIRST BODY SIGNS LIKE PELVIC HEAVINESS CRAMPS MOOD CHANGES PERIODS MAY START SUDDENLY AFTER FIFTEEN TO TWENTY FIVE DAYS IN SOME CASES FIRST BLEED IS LIGHT AND NEXT CYCLES IMPROVE GRADUALLY

EAT WARM FRESH COOKED FOOD AVOID COLD ITEMS BAKERY EXCESS SUGAR AND LATE NIGHTS SLEEP BEFORE ELEVEN PM AVOID HEAVY EXERCISE FOR NOW LIGHT WALKING AND DEEP BREATHING ARE SUFFICIENT

IF PERIODS DO NOT START EVEN AFTER THREE TO FOUR WEEKS THEN REASSESSMENT IS REQUIRED SOMETIMES MEDICINES NEED ADJUSTMENT AND ADDITIONAL SUPPORT IS GIVEN TO MOVE APANA VATA PROPERLY

AT PRESENT NOTHING IS DANGEROUS OR ABNORMAL ,YOUR SYMPTOMS SHOW RESPONSE NOT HARM.GIVE YOUR BODY TIME ,AND DO NOT STOP MEDICINES ABRUPTLY

Yes – completely normal. In PCOD with long amenorrhea, Ayurvedic medicines take 3–6 weeks (sometimes 8 weeks) to regulate hormones & bring flow. 10 days is too early to expect periods – be patient.

These symptoms are signs of upcoming periods. These are classic pre-menstrual Vata symptoms – body is preparing for flow. Periods usually start within 7–14 days of such pains in PCOD cases on proper treatment.

How long to continue current medicines safely? Rajpravartini Vati – continue till periods start (max 15–21 days this cycle) , then stop till next cycle Day 5–15

Ashokarishta + Avipattikar + Arogyavardhini – continue minimum 3 months (safe long-term)

Add these 2 for faster & permanent result (safe with current medicines) Kumaryasava – 15 ml + 30 ml warm water after lunch & dinner (best for PCOD amenorrhea) Shatavari Kalpa – 5 gm night with warm milk (reduces dryness & pain)

Diet & Lifestyle (must follow) Daily: pomegranate, beetroot juice 100 ml, moong khichdi + ghee Avoid: dairy, sugar, maida, cold drinks, late dinner Gentle walk 30 min + Vajrasana 10 min after meals Sleep 10 PM – 6 AM

The combination of ayurvedic medicine is good, Since ayurvedic, it will take a little longer time to get desired results. You can add Aloevera juice 10ml twice daily after food with water. Be relaxed and stress free.
