Considering you're 47 years old and experiencing changes in your menstrual cycle, you might be in the transitional phase known as perimenopause, which could lead up to menopause. This is rather common, and missing periods may be a sign but it's crucial to rule out other possible causes.
In terms of medical tests, you could consider a blood test to check your hormone levels. Specifically, measuring Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Estradiol levels could provide clues about menopausal status. Higher levels of FSH and lower levels of estrogen can indicate menopause. However, hormone levels can fluctuate, so it's usually a combination of symptoms and tests results that confirm menopause.
You might also want to test thyroid function because thyroid imbalances can also affect menstrual cycles. A Complete Blood Count (CBC) and checks for iron levels can rule out anemia, which sometimes influences cycles too.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, it's important to adress this transition carefully. Emphasize a sattvic diet with lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and good fats like ghee and nuts to balance Vata dosha, which often goes out of balance as we age. Reducing intake of caffeine, alcohol, and refined sugars may also help.
Herbs like Ashoka and Shatavari can support reproductive health by balancing hormones and nourishing tissues. These herbs can be taken as powders or tablets as per the advice of an Ayurvedic physician who knows your specific prakriti or constitution. Additionally, practicing regular yoga and pranayama can be highly beneficial in this time of change.
Before any treatment or test, consulting with a healthcare professional or an ayurvedic expert is essential. They can provide guidance uniquely tailored to your health history and ensure the best outcome for your situation. If you have any serious symptoms like unusual heavy bleeding or pain, seek medical attention right away.
