Why does ovulation pain happen every month, and is there an Ayurvedic way to ease it? - #16737

Anonymous

For the past few years, I’ve been experiencing ovulation pain almost every month, and it’s getting worse. It starts as a mild cramp on one side of my lower abdomen, usually around the middle of my cycle, but sometimes it becomes sharp and lasts for hours. Sometimes I can even feel it in my lower back. I used to ignore it, thinking it was normal, but lately, the pain is more intense, and I’ve even had nausea with it. I did some reading and found out that ovulation pain happens when the ovary releases an egg, and it can be due to the follicle rupturing or the irritation caused by fluid from the ovary. But why does it seem to be getting worse for me? My cycle is fairly regular, but I have noticed that stress and diet changes make my ovulation pain feel more severe. I don’t want to rely on painkillers every month, so I’m looking for an Ayurvedic approach to manage ovulation pain naturally. Are there specific herbs or dietary recommendations that can help reduce this discomfort? Would a pitta or vata imbalance be responsible for this? Also, are there any Ayurvedic massages or therapies like Abhyanga that can help reduce the pain? I’ve heard castor oil packs can help with period pain, but do they work for ovulation pain too? I really want to find a long-term solution rather than just dealing with it month after month. Would love to know if anyone else has experienced this and what worked for them in Ayurveda. Any specific lifestyle changes, yoga poses, or herbal remedies that can help regulate ovulation and reduce pain?

In Ayurveda, ovulation pain can often be linked to an imbalance in the Vata and Pitta doshas. Vata governs movement in the body, and when it is aggravated, it can lead to irregularities in fluid movement, contributing to discomfort during ovulation. Pitta, associated with heat and inflammation, can exacerbate pain, especially if stress or dietary factors are increasing internal heat. To balance Vata and Pitta, herbs such as Shatavari, Ashwagandha, and Turmeric can help reduce inflammation and support hormonal balance. Castor oil packs, applied over the abdomen, can also help by promoting circulation and reducing stagnation in the reproductive organs. Incorporating a calming, anti-inflammatory diet, rich in whole foods, healthy fats, and cooling foods like cucumbers and coconut, can support your overall well-being. Additionally, regular practices like Abhyanga (oil massage) with sesame or coconut oil can help balance Vata and ease muscle tension. Yoga poses like Supta Baddha Konasana (Reclining Bound Angle Pose) and gentle stretches for the lower abdomen can promote relaxation and help reduce discomfort. A holistic approach addressing diet, lifestyle, and stress management can offer long-term relief from ovulation pain.
