How to diagnose right problem regarding your body - #19502

Hello Ashneeta, Thanks for reaching out! It sounds like you’ve been through a really difficult experience, both physically and emotionally.

The ectopic pregnancy diagnosis without any history of intercourse is concerning, and it’s understandable to feel confused and upset. While rare, some cases of false-positive pregnancy results can occur due to hormonal imbalances, tumors, or medical conditions. However, a thorough review of your medical records could clarify what happened.

Your ongoing symptoms, like severe bloating, stomach pain, leg pain, backache, and irregular periods, might indicate complications from the surgery, hormonal imbalances, or digestive issues. The right-side headache and sensitivity to light and noise could also be linked to stress, migraines, or even nerve damage.

Have you had any follow-up scans or hormone tests after the operation? Have doctors checked for conditions like adhesions, hormonal disorders, or gastrointestinal issues?

It might also help to see a neurologist for your headaches. Seeking both physical and psychological support is important after such a traumatic experience. Let me know if you’d like further suggestions on how to manage your symptoms or find the right specialists.

Namaste Ji, I’m really sorry to hear about your experience. To better understand your symptoms and offer effective guidance, I’d like to know more about your overall lifestyle, emotional state, and any stress factors you’re experiencing, especially since you’re managing your son and have been through such a traumatic event. Are you experiencing any digestive issues, like bloating, constipation, or gas, along with the stomach swelling? Have you noticed any other changes in your health, such as fatigue, changes in skin or hair, or changes in mood? Understanding your diet, physical activity, and sleep patterns would also be helpful. Additionally, knowing if you have any family history of reproductive or digestive disorders would help in determining a more complete approach.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, your symptoms suggest a Vata-Kapha imbalance, particularly in the Pitta and Rasa Dhatu (plasma) areas, which could explain the bloating, stomach pain, and the headaches. After the traumatic car accident and subsequent surgery, there may have been a disturbance in your Srotas (body channels), particularly the Annavaha Srotas (digestive channels) and Artavavaha Srotas (reproductive channels). The trauma, both physical and emotional, can cause an accumulation of Ama (toxins), leading to stagnation, discomfort, and irregularities in the menstrual cycle. The right-sided headaches and sensitivity to light and sound could indicate Pitta excess in the head, possibly linked to stress and imbalances in the nervous system and circulation.

Herbs like Ashwagandha (for stress, vitality, and nervous system balance), Triphala (for digestion and detoxification), and Shatavari (to support female reproductive health and normalize the menstrual cycle) may help address some of your symptoms. Guggulu could help with inflammation and digestive issues, while Turmeric may support healing and reduce pain. To support circulation and digestion, consider incorporating Cumin, Ginger, and Fennel into your meals.

Additionally, Pranayama (breathing exercises), gentle yoga for stress management, and abhyanga (self-massage with warm oil) can help restore balance to your system. For the stomach swelling, taking warm water with a pinch of Hing (asafoetida) and Jeera (cumin) may improve digestion and reduce bloating.

Wow, that’s quite a lot you’ve been through and it must be really stressful. I can’t even imagine. From an Ayurvedic perspective, many of these issues are connected to imbalances in your doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta, given the stress and physical trauma you’ve been through. Your body seems to be reacting strongly to heat and pressure, which indicates elevated Pitta and maybe some Kapha involvement regarding swelling and heaviness.

First, let’s tackle the abdominal discomfort. You mentioned difficulty with digestion, swelling and pain - sounds like Agni, your digestive fire, ain’t in top shape. Consider eating warm, cooked meals that’s easy to digest - things like kichari or lightly spiced dal can soothe your gut. Avoid raw, cold food and processed stuff.

For that swelling and pain, you might try some gentle yoga or pranayama - just simple breathing exercises to help move energy. And whenever you feel overheated, sip a bit of room-temperature water with a pinch of cumin or fennel seeds to cool down internally.

Now, about the headaches and sensitivity to light/noise - these are classic signs of elevated Pitta. Shirodhara therapy or even simple self-massage with cooler oils like coconut might bring some relief. You could also try to rest in a dark, quiet room when you feel overwhelmed.

Your menstrual irregularity - this symptom is very Vata-related, and after the surgery, it might’ve led to disturbance in your reproductive cycle. Ayurvedic herbs like Shatavari can be supportive, but it’s best to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner nearby so they can tailor something specifically for you.

The question about pregnancy is complex and should ideally involve a thorough medical and spiritual consultation. Western medicine and Ayurveda approach these phenomena differently, but accurate, personalized info would require an evaluation by a professional.

Given the complexity here, especially with your past medical experiences, do talk to healthcare providers when urgent. Ayurveda and conventional medicines can complement each other, providing a fuller picture of your health.
