Have you recently done any scan?? If yes just share once Sometimes due to pcos also v see unwanted hairs which is due to hormonal imbalance

Dear Ruchitha,To better understand your situation, could you tell me more about your menstrual cycle—how irregular are your periods, and do you experience any other symptoms like acne, weight gain, or changes in mood? Have you undergone any hormonal tests to evaluate levels of estrogen, testosterone, or other key hormones? How long have you been trying to conceive, and are there any other fertility concerns, such as ovulation issues or low libido? Additionally, could you share any lifestyle factors, such as diet, stress levels, and exercise habits?

Hey, I totally get it. Dealing with unwanted hair and irregular periods can be so frustrating, especially when you're trying to start a family. In Ayurveda, these symptoms sound like they could be related to an imbalance in hormones – often linked to a vitiation of Kapha and Pitta doshas. Here's a more holistic take that combines some traditional Ayurvedic ideas with real-world practicality. First up, let's talk about diet. Aim to include more foods that pacify Kapha and Pitta. That means lighter grains like quinoa and barley, plenty of vegetables, and less spicy or fried stuff. Think cooling foods like cucumbers and melons. You might also wanna try incorporating spices like fennel and coriander in your meals. These can help in balancing the doshas, aid in digestion – which is key to better menstrual health. Routine is another thing... try sticking to a regular daily schedule. Getting up and going to bed at the same time, helps sync your body's natural rhythms. Regular exercise's vital too – light yoga or a daily walk is a great start. It helps tackle the root by reducing stress and balancing those doshas. Now, stress – it's huge in all these hormonal issues. Pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation, even 10 min a day can do wonders, seriously, it's surprising. A simple practice like Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) can help in balancing your mind, ultimately affecting hormone levels positively. You might want to consider herbal remedies like Shatavari or Ashwagandha but chat with an Ayurvedic practitioner first, especially since you're planning to conceive. These can help with hormonal harmony, but proper guidance is key. Lastly, it’s important not to abandon any crucial medical advice or treatments. Keep your doc in the loop, right? And remember, patience is a virtue in Ayurveda – slow and steady changes is often more lasting. You’ve got this! Keep me posted on your progress, if you like.
