hypomenorrhea - #2501

Anonymously

I’ve been having irregular periods for a few months now, and I think it might be hypomenorrhea. My periods have become really light, sometimes just spotting for a day or two, and then it’s over. This is very different from how it used to be—my cycle was always regular before. I don’t feel much pain or discomfort, but I’m worried because this doesn’t seem normal. I read that hypomenorrhea could be caused by stress, hormonal issues, or even diet deficiencies. For me, I think stress might be the reason because my work has been hectic, and I haven’t been eating properly either. Does Ayurveda have a treatment for hypomenorrhea? Are there specific herbs or medicines that help restore a normal flow? I’ve seen mentions of ashokarishta and lodhra being helpful, but I’m not sure how to use them or if they’re even right for my case. Is hypomenorrhea something that can be fixed naturally, or do I need to look at allopathic treatments too? I’d really prefer to avoid synthetic hormones if I can. One more thing—does hypomenorrhea affect fertility? I’m not planning to have kids right now, but I want to know if this could create problems later. If anyone has dealt with this, I’d really appreciate any tips on how you managed to get back to a healthy cycle.

Doctors’ responses

In Ayurveda, hypomenorrhea (light or scanty periods) is often linked to an imbalance in Vata dosha or Shukra dhatu (reproductive tissue), commonly influenced by stress, poor diet, or hormonal imbalances. Ayurvedic Treatment: Ashokarishta: This is commonly used to balance female reproductive health and regulate menstrual flow. It helps nourish the uterine tissues and balance hormones. Lodhra: Known for its benefits in managing menstrual disorders, Lodhra helps strengthen the reproductive system and reduce irregularities. Additional Recommendations: Diet: Focus on a nourishing, grounding diet with healthy fats, whole grains, and leafy greens. Avoid excessive caffeine, cold foods, and processed snacks. Lifestyle: Reduce stress through practices like yoga, meditation, or breathing exercises to help restore balance. Fertility Consideration: Hypomenorrhea can affect fertility over time if left unaddressed, as irregular cycles may indicate hormonal imbalances. However, with proper treatment, Ayurveda can help restore menstrual health and improve future fertility. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
