In Ayurveda, prolonged bleeding (Artava Vriddhi / Asrigdara) at the age of 46 is commonly due to Pitta aggravation with Vata imbalance, especially during the perimenopausal phase (natural hormonal transition). Perimenopause changes (hormonal fluctuation) Pitta increase → excessive heat in blood causing longer bleeding Vata imbalance → irregular uterine control Stress, spicy/heaty diet, or underlying uterine conditions (fibroid, endometrial changes) 1. Pitta-pacifying care: Take cooling diet: coconut water, pomegranate, amla Avoid spicy, fried, sour, and excessive tea/coffee 2.Lifestyle: Adequate rest, avoid overexertion Manage stress (pranayama, meditation)

Likely Causes Hormonal Fluctuation (Perimenopause): As you approach your late 40s, levels of estrogen and progesterone fluctuate, which can lead to a thicker uterine lining that takes longer to shed. Pitta Aggravation: Ayurveda explains that excessive “heat” or Pitta in the blood can cause the menstrual flow to be prolonged, even if the flow itself is moderate. Vata Imbalance: Changes in the nervous system and stress can disrupt the downward flow (Apana Vayu), leading to irregular timing or duration. Underlying Factors: While you have no known history of issues, prolonged bleeding can sometimes be linked to small fibroids or changes in the endometrial lining. Ayurvedic mediciens----- 1.Lodhrasava 20 ml with 20 ml water twice daily after meals 2.Menosan tablet 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 3.Chandraprabha vati 2 tab twice dialy with water after meals Suggested Ayurvedic Care----- Cooling Diet–Focus on foods like Coconut Water, Pomegranate, and Amla (Indian Gooseberry). Avoid Triggers–Limit spicy, fried, and very sour foods. Reduce intake of excessive tea or coffee, which increases internal heat. Rest–Ensure adequate rest and avoid heavy physical overexertion during these 14 days. Stress Management–Practice calming exercises like Pranayama (breathwork) or meditation to help stabilize hormonal signals.

Hello, At age 46, a period lasting 14 days instead of 7 is most commonly related to perimenopause (hormonal fluctuation phase before menopause) Most likely causes 1) Hormonal imbalance (most common) -estorgen increase/ progesterone decrease imbalance -leads to prolonged bleeding Very commo after 40 2) Perimenopause change cycles may become -longer -heavier or prolonged Normal transitional phase 3) Uterine causes (need to rule out) -fibroids -endometrial thickening -polyps Important if this repeats 4) Stress/ Lifestyle -stress affects hormones-> delays stopping of bleeding 5) Medication effect since you mentioned you’re on medication -some drugs can affect cycle duration When it’s not normal You should not ignore if -bleeding > 14-15 days -very heavy (soaking pads frequently) -weakness/dizziness -repeating every cycle Internal management 1) To control prolonged bleeding -Pushyanug churna= 1 tspp twice daily with honey =best for controlling excessive/ prolonged bleeding 2) Hormonal balance -Evecare syrup= 15ml twice daily after meals =regulates cycle naturally 3) Strength and recovery -Ashokarishtam= 15ml + water after meals twice daily =uterine tonic, reduces irregular bleeding Diet -iron rich foods -beetroot, pomegranate -warm, light meals Avoid -spicy, sour, junk food -excess tea, coffee Lifestyle -proper sleep -stress management (very important at this stage) What to expect -bleeding control = within few days -cycle normalization= 1-2 cycle One time 14 day period can happen at your age Do follow Hope this might be helpful Thank you
