hello pihu, You’re experiencing frequent periods (polymenorrhea) along with severe breast pain, vomiting, and body aches this strongly suggests hormonal imbalance, likely due to aggravated Apana Vata and Pitta dosha, possibly linked with deeper imbalances like Rajodushti (disturbed menstruation due to dosha vitiation), as per Ayurveda. Since your gynecologist also found your results unsatisfactory and the pattern is persisting despite regular monitoring, it’s time to shift the approach from just symptom management to root-level balancing.
Your body is undergoing repeated menstrual triggers because of uncoordinated hormonal signaling. This causes excessive bleeding or spotting, nausea, mastalgia (breast pain), vomiting, and fatigue. The cycle isn’t stabilizing because your hormones, digestion (agni), and mental balance are not aligned. This condition is known in Ayurveda under Asrigdara or Raktapradara when excessive or frequent bleeding happens, or Rajakshaya when irregular and painful cycles occur.
Internal Medicines (Minimum 6–8 weeks) Sukumara Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water before food, morning and evening Ashokarishta – 20 ml + 20 ml water after meals twice daily Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets after food, twice daily Shatavari Churna – ½ tsp with milk at night Praval Panchamrut Ras – 1 tab twice daily (for breast pain and vomiting) Kamdudha Ras (Moti yukta) – 1 tab during vomiting or extreme heat
Shodhana Karma (External Therapies if possible) Abhyanga (oil massage) with Dhanwantaram taila or Balashwagandhadi taila over lower back and abdomen – 3 times/week Bashpa Sweda (herbal steam) – for relaxing body pain Matra Basti with Narayana taila or Sukumara ghrita – once daily for 5–7 days (under supervision)
Pathya (What You Should Do) Begin your day with 1 tsp cow ghee + warm water Eat only warm, fresh, home-cooked meals – no leftovers Include beetroot, methi leaves, moong dal, pumpkin, lauki in meals Drink fennel + coriander seed tea daily Practice Bhramari pranayama + 5 mins meditation daily Rest adequately during periods – don’t push your body too much
Apathya ( what u should avoid strictly ) Cold water, fridge foods, curd Tea/coffee on empty stomach Fried, fermented, packaged foods Long fasting, skipping meals Overuse of phones and late-night sleeping Stress, excessive travel, and physical strain during periods
Investigations to Confirm Pelvic USG (check for ovarian cysts, fibroids, PCOS) TSH, Prolactin, LH, FSH Serum Estrogen, Progesterone CBC Vitamin D3, B12 USG breast (if pain persists)
This condition is very much treatable in Ayurveda. But it requires regularity, supportive food habits, and mental rest. You’re only 20s, and your body is still receptive. With the right herbs and diet, your cycles can normalize and pain will gradually reduce. If needed, go for an in-clinic Panchakarma program for faster results.
If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Dr. Karthika
HELLO PIHU,
You’re going through a difficult time with your menstrual health. Based on your description- irregular periods (three times in two months), intense stomach and breast pain, vomiting, and full-body pain- it’s clear your symptoms are significantly affecting your quality of life.
You mentioned that you’ve been under gynaecological care since November 2024, but have not had sustained relief.
YOU ARE EXPERIENCING -irregular periods - 3 times in 2 months -severe stomach pain during periods - breast pain that becomes very hard -vomiting and whole body pain
In simple words Your menstrual cycle is out of balance, and your body is reacting with pain, inflammation, and hormonal disturbances
Your symptoms shows a disturbed balance of two doshas in body - VATA DOSHA= controls movements lik periods and nerve signs-> when imbalanced, causes irregular timing, cramps, body pain
-PITTA DOSHA= controls heat, hormones, digestion-> when imbalanced causes breast pain, vomiting, irritability, inflammation
Also, your digestive fire(agni) may be weak, which creates Ama(toxins), further disturbing hormone levels and cycle timing
GOAL OF TREATMENT SHOULD BE -correct menstrual cycle regularity -reduce pain and inflammation - strengthen hormonal balance - remove toxins - rejuvinate uterus and reproductive system - improves digestion, stress and immunity

Your situation seems to relate to some hormonal imbalances, or perhaps an underlying condition affecting your menstrual cycle. Ayurveda emphasizes balancing doshas to address issues like these, particularly focusing on Vata and Pitta dosha that often contribute to menstrual irregularities and associated symptoms.
First, consider your daily routine. Irregular sleep, stress, and dietary habits can aggravate Vata, leading to erratic period cycles and pain. Incorporate a routine that includes consistent waking and sleeping hours. Engage in calming activities like yoga and pranayama to help stabilize both your physical and mental state. Breathing exercises, particularly anulom vilom, can be very effective in calming the mind and reducing stress, aiding in hormonal balance.
Diet is another crucial aspect. Aim for warm, freshly-cooked meals. Include spices like turmeric, fennel, cumin, and hing to enhance digestion and reduce bloating. Avoid excessively cold, spicy, or processed foods which could aggravate Pitta, potentially intensifying symptoms like breast tenderness and stomach discomfort.
Herbal remedies are also beneficial. Ashoka (Saraca asoca) and Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa) are renowned in Ayurveda for supporting menstrual health. They are often used to balance hormones and reduce menstrual pain. You might consider these as supplements, but it’s essential to discuss their use with an Ayurvedic practitioner or your healthcare provider to ensure they fit your specific needs.
In terms of lifestyle, ensure adequate hydration—but sip warm water, which aids digestion and soothes aggravated Vata and Kapha. Abhyanga, or self-massage with sesam or coconut oil, can also provide pain relief and reduce stress by calming the nervous system.
However, given your recurrent, severe symptoms, I highly recommend continuing your consultations with a gynecologist or seeking a second opinion if you haven’t already. Persistent or severe symptoms warrant careful medical attention to rule out any serious underlying conditions like endometriosis or fibroids. Always follow up any severe pain or ongoing menstrual issues with appropriate medical guidance to ensure your safety and health.
Irregular menstruation with your symptoms could be due to an imbalance in your doshas, likely involving pitta and vata disturbances. In Siddha-Ayurvedic understanding, this might suggest an issue with increased heat and circulation that disrupts hormonal regulation. It’s critical to consider this in the context of the seven dhatus, or tissues, and their balance in the body. Sattva, rajas, and tamas—relating to your mental state—might be influencing your condition as well.
First, limit or avoid foods that aggravate pitta, like spicy, salty, and sour foods. Focus more on cooling and soothing foods such as dairy, cucumber, and ripe bananas. Make sure your foods are freshly cooked and warm, as they pacify vata.
Incorporate Tridoshic herbal formulations that balance doshas like Ashoka (Saraca asoca), Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), and Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa). These assist in stabilizing hormones and support reproductive health. Take these under the guidance of a trained practitioner.
For immediate relief from pain and vomiting, try drinking a decoction of ginger and mint. This can help soothe digestive issues and alleviate nausea. For breast pain, using a warm sesame oil massage can offer some relief.
Regularly practice pranayama to support energy flow and calm your nervous system, which helps in managing stress—often a contributor to irregular periods. Engage in gentle yoga postures such as Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose) and Setu Bandhasana (Bridge Pose) to improve circulation and reduce pain.
Since symptoms persist, and the consistency of the issue is troubled, maintaining a close relationship with your healthcare provider is crucial to monitor any necessary medical interventions. If symptoms escalate, particularly if related to excessive bleeding or severe pain, consult your gynecologist without delay. Safety and timely care should always be your priority while pursuing Ayurvedic remedies alongside modern treatments.
HELLO PIHU,
Thank you for sharing your concern- it sounds like you’ve been going through a lot. Irregular periods with intense pain, breast tenderness, vomiting, and body aches can indicate hormonal imbalance or underlying gynaecological conditions.
In Ayurveda, menstrual irregularities are commonly due to dosha imbalance, especially vata and pitta. Your symptoms- irregular cycles, pain, vomiting, breast tenderness- suggest pitta-vata dushti (aggravation)
PROBABLE AYURVEDIC DIAGNOSIS -Artava dushti= disorders of menstruation -Pajah krichra= painful or difficult menstruation -Possible involvement of Amla pitta if vomiting and acidity are prominent
HERBAL MEDICINES
1) Kumaryasava= 15 ml with water twice daily after meals =uterine tonic and balances hormones
2) Ashokarishta= 20 ml with water twice daily after meals =regulates periods, reduces bleeding
3) Punarnava mandur= 1 tab twice daily after meals =relieves swelling, supports detox
4) Shatavari capsules= 1 cap with warm milk at night =balances hormones, supports reproductive health
5) Pradaranashak churna= 1 tsp twice daily with ghee =controls irregular, heavy or painful menses
DIET GUIDELINES -favour cooling and calming foods= moong dal, rice, coconut water, pomegranate, pumpkin -Avoid spicy, oily, fermented, and junk foods -Reduce tea/coffee, carbonated drinks -Include ghee in small amounts- good for hormonal balance -Hydration is key- warm water is preferable
LIFESTYLE GUIDELINES - regular routine= sleep early, wake early -gentle yoga and pranayam, especially -baddhakonasana -supta baddha konasana -Anulom vilom -avoid excessive physical strain or emotional stresss during menses
4) PANCHAKARMA (if condition persist) -virechana=for clearing pitta -basti therapy= if vata is deeply aggravated
HOME REMEDIES -fenugreek seeds tea= soak 1 tsp overnight boil in morning and drink -aloe vera juice= 1 tbsp with pinch of turmeric -castor oil pack on lower abdomen-reduces pain and inflammation
If you develop- -very heavy bleeding soaking pads every 1-2 hours -severe vomiting with dehydration -missed periods for more than 2 months not due to pregnancy -breast lumps or nipple discharge
then go for medical emergency
Ayurveda works gradually but deeply, consistency is key
THANK YOU
DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA
