Instead of iron tab you can use Drakshadi kashaya churnam Boil 1 litre or 2 litre of water with 2 teaspoon churnam and to be used for drinking purpose as normal water
Hemi c syrup 1 teaspoon twice after food
Don’t worry about the condition , just start this medicine and wait for 3 cycles
Take tablet M2 -Tone 1-0-1 after food with water, for 3consecutive cycles Stop during periods time and restart once period stops
Do you have ever done us scan?? THYROID TEST?? How much your HB is ? And even though if it’s repeating every 23 days , for how many days it’s lasting and is the bleeding is heavy?? Or normal??
Hello dear… If you are getting periods regularly for 20 or 23 days then its normal nothing to warry… If once you are getting for 20 days & next month for 25 then next for 30 then we call it as irregular periods…
If continuously you are getting on same day then take it lite…
Just for your concern you can have Syp U- Sure 10 ml 2 times a day for 1 month…
Its uterine syp…
But if you have clottings or heavy bleeding let me know…👍

Frequent periods in the teenage years, especially soon after menarche, can happen and are sometimes considered within the range of normalcy as your body adjusts to its new rhythms. Typically, menstrual cycles range from 21 to 35 days, so a cycle of 20 to 23 days might not be concerning. However, consistency in length and any discomfort or excessive bleeding should be monitored to rule out underlying concerns.
The loose motions you’re experiencing from the iron supplements could be due to the formulation of the iron itself, which sometimes irritates the digestive system. You might want to try taking them with food to see if that helps ease the symptoms. If it continues to be a problem, consult a healthcare provider who might recommend a different form of iron supplement, such as ferrous gluconate or a slower-release formulation, which might be gentler on your stomach.
In terms of Ayurveda, focus on balancing your Pitta dosha, which can be responsible for the frequent cycles and any associated discomfort. Incorporating foods that are cooling and Pitta-pacifying like cucumber, melons, and aloe vera juice can be helpful. Avoiding spicy, acidic, or overly salty foods might reduce any imbalances that might have arisen. Herbal teas like chamomile and mint have soothing effects, which could assist in balancing your system.
At this stage, maintaining a balanced agni, or digestive fire, by eating meals at regular intervals, is important. Consuming warm, freshly cooked meals supports digestion and overall body harmony. Practices like pranayama (breathing exercises) help in calming the mind and body.
Remember to consult a doctor for any severe or persistent symptoms, and they can provide guidance tailored to your specific needs and ensure that everything’s on the right track with your health.
