"PCOS with 5.8 cm Cyst, Grade 2 Fatty Liver & Irregular Spotting – Need Ayurvedic Guidance" - #25357

Mahi Chandrakar

I am 21 years old and currently weigh 98 kg. I have been diagnosed with PCOS and Grade 2 fatty liver. My ultrasound shows a 5.8 cm left para-ovarian simple cyst. Although I get my periods almost every month on time (sometimes 1–2 days early or late), there is only light spotting instead of a proper menstrual flow. It doesn't feel like I am getting normal periods at all.

Age: 21
Chronic illnesses: Fatty liver grade 2 para ovarian cyst of 5.8cm left ovary with obesity

Your symptoms and conditions indicate a Kapha and Pitta imbalance with potential stagnation in the Vata dosha. In Ayurveda, PCOS and fatty liver are viewed as disruptions in the body’s natural balance, often linked to lifestyle and dietary choices. Here’s a detailed approach:

Firstly, addressing the underlying metabolic disturbance is crucial. Excess weight and the fatty liver condition often correlate with impaired Agni (digestive fire). Incorporating a Kapha-Pitta pacifying diet could benefit you. This diet should focus on light, warm, and freshly cooked meals. Avoid oily, fried, processed, and sugary foods, which can aggravate both Kapha and Pitta. Opt instead for whole grains like quinoa and barley, green leafy vegetables, and bitter gourd—a staple in traditional detox diets.

Herbal remedies play a role in correcting hormonal imbalances and supporting liver health. Consider Ayurvedic herbs like Triphala for gentle detoxification and hormone balance. Chitrak (Plumbago zeylanica) may enhance metabolic function and is useful in weight management. Remember to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herbal regime.

For lifestyle changes, regular physical activity is essential due to your weight and PCOS. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily. Yoga poses, particularly those focusing on pelvic opening like Baddha Konasana and Bhujangasana, can improve reproductive health and reduce stress.

Proper sleep and stress management are equally important. Engage in activities that promote relaxation, such as meditation or pranayama breathing exercises. Keep a consistent sleep schedule to help regulate hormonal cycles.

Finally, if you experience any exacerbation in symptoms or discomfort due to the ovarian cyst, immediate allopathic medical consultation is advisable. Ayurveda can significantly complement conventional treatment but should not replace it. Each element of this plan should be personalized and conducted under the guidance of healthcare professionals.

This is all result of wrong eating and lyfstyle habbits.

Usually the cyst is benign, but large enough to monitor regularly. May affect hormone levels. To Regulate Periods & Improve Flow (Build Endometrium)

Aloe Vera Pulp + 1 tsp Amla juice every morning – supports uterus and estrogen

Shatavari powder (1 tsp) + lukewarm milk or water at night – balances estrogen, builds uterine lining

Ashoka rishta (10 ml after lunch and dinner) – enhances menstrual flow and tone

Liv52 DS or – 1 tablet twice daily after meals

Avoid cold food/drinks during periods, and warm castor oil pack on lower abdomen 3x/week helps improve blood flow.

Coriander + fennel seed tea (boil 1 tsp each in 2 cups water) – sip warm daily

You’re dealing with a combination of metabolic and hormonal imbalance. The PCOS, fatty liver, and the para-ovarian cyst are all connected, and they’re signs that your digestion, liver function, and reproductive system are not in sync.

Even though your periods are coming monthly, the lack of proper bleeding shows that Apana Vata (which controls menstrual flow) is blocked. Your body is just doing the bare minimum (spotting), but the hormones are not rising or falling in a healthy way that’s why it doesn’t feel like a real period.

From an Ayurvedic point of view, this is a clear case of: -Kapha imbalance (weight gain, cyst, fatty liver) -Pitta involvement (liver inflammation) -And Vata obstruction (irregular flow, poor cycle quality) Also, your Agni (digestive/metabolic fire) is weak that’s why you’re not losing weight easily, your liver is getting fatty, and the cyst is persisting. The liver plays a big role in hormone processing so when it’s fatty and sluggish, your cycle also suffers.

1. Internal Ayurvedic Medicines

1.Kanchnar Guggulu – 2 tabs after food, twice a day Reduces cyst, shrinks lymphatic and fat accumulations 2.Punarnavadi Kashayam – 15 ml with warm water, twice a day before meals For fatty liver, water retention, bloating 3.Lodhrasava – 15 ml with equal water, after food Regulates periods, reduces PCOS-related spotting issues 4.Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food Targets fatty liver, boosts digestion and metabolism 5.Triphala Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with lukewarm water Daily cleansing + weight loss support 6. Varunadi Kashayam – if cyst is persistent or causes pain Can help break down para-ovarian mass with regular use

2. External Therapies (optional but helpful)

1.Udwartana (dry herbal powder massage) – helps reduce Kapha, water retention, and upper body fat 2.Abdominal hot fomentation with castor oil + ajwain – improves circulation to reproductive area 3.Basti (Vata-pacifying enema therapy) – 1 cycle/month after weight and digestion improves

ADVICES: Eat only warm, light, fresh food. Avoid cold drinks, bakery, packaged snacks. Strictly no curd, milkshakes, sugar, or heavy dairy. Have jeera + methi + ajwain water throughout the day Eat early dinner (before 8 PM), avoid lying down after eating Include 30 mins walking + 15 mins yoga daily (focusing on abdomen + pelvic area) Sleep early and avoid screen use at bedtime

-Investigations to Track Every 3 Months 1.USG pelvis (to monitor cyst size) 2.Liver Function Test 3.Lipid Profile 4.Fasting insulin + blood sugar 5.Hormone panel (LH, FSH, AMH, TSH, prolactin)

thank you ! REGARDS-DR.KARTHIKA

* GRADE 2 FATTY LIVER this means your liver is storing too much fat, making it weak in doing its job: -poor digestion -low metabolism -hormonal imbalance worsens -weight gain increases

* OBESTIY(98 KG) excess wight is both cause and effect of PCOS and fatty liver. It makes periods more irregular, causes cysts to grow, and slows liver function

GOALS OF TREATMENT -reduces size of the para ovarian cyst -balance your hormones and restore normal periods -reduce fatty liver and improve digestion -lose weight gradually -prevent further cysts and other complications

I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

I am working in Ayurveda for about 2 years now, mainly around gynecological problems, which I honestly feel are way more common than most people realise. I see a lot of women struggling silently with issues like irregular periods, cramps that just don’t stop, mood swings, PCOS kind of symptoms... sometimes they come in after trying a bunch of stuff already n nothing really works long-term. That’s where I try to bring in a more rooted approach. I use a mix of Ayurvedic principles, dietetics (like food based on dosha & body type etc), and yoga therapy to manage these conditions. It’s not just about reducing pain during periods or balancing hormones—it’s more like trying to understand what’s causing the imbalances in the first place. I spend time trying to map the prakriti-vikriti profile and see how stress, food, daily habits are impacting the cycle. I don’t rush things, coz honestly healing isn't linear and doesn't follow some fixed timeline. And not everyone wants to jump into panchakarma straightaway either, right? Also pain management is a big part of my work. Whether it’s period cramps or pelvic pain, or even chronic stuff tied to digestion and fatigue, I look at how we can ease that naturally. Sometimes through simple things like castor oil packs, or subtle shifts in routine, other times I may recommend herbs or formulations. Yoga plays a huge role too, esp. when the body feels stuck or inflamed. Not gym-style yoga, more therapeutic.. breath n movement syncing with dosha correction, that kind of thing. To be honest, I’m still learning—Ayurveda’s depth is huge, and I feel like I’m just getting started. But what I do know is, when I see women begin to trust their own body’s rhythm again, that’s really powerful. Makes all the effort worth it. Even small relief matters. It's not perfect, sometimes things take longer, sometimes we need to adjust mid-way... but it's real.

I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their prakriti and vikriti—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually fit their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with dinacharya, ahar rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical samhitas, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like them, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trying to bring the old wisdom of chikitsa into daily life, even if sometime I feel I am still learning new things every single day.. I work mostly with the classical principles, the ones I studied again n agin during my training, and I try to see how they fit with each patient’s prakriti and the tiny details of their health story. I am often thinking how Ayurveda doesn’t rush anything, it asks for understanding of the roga and even the rogi in a deeper way, and I keep that in mind when someone walks in and tell me their concerns. Some cases are simple, some not really, but I do my best to look at the ahara, vihara, dosha pattern and even the habits they don’t notice at first. Sometimes I get a bit caught up in analysing too many factors at once, or typing notes too fas and mixing commas,, but at the core I focus on using authentic Ayurvedic approaches—herbal formulations, routine correction, panchkarma suggestions where needed—and I try to guide people gently without overwhelming them. I am also aware that many patients come with doubts or half-heard ideas about Ayurveda, and I try to clear those without sounding too “doctorly,” just explaining what makes sense for their body. I want them to feel they can trust the process, even if progress take time or feel slow on some days. I am still growing in this field, and every person who comes to me reminds me why I chose Ayurveda in the first place: clarity, balance, and healing that respects the person as a whole. There are moments where I wish I had more hours in a day to study more granthas or revise a chapter I skipped, but I stay committed to giving care that is genuine, thoughtful and rooted in traditional practice—even if the journey gets a bit messy here n there !!

I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

Dr. Nayan Wale
I am working in medical field for total 7 years, out of which around 4 years was in hospital setup and 3 years in clinic practice. Hospital work gave me strong base, long duty hours, different type of cases, emergencies sometimes, and learning under pressure. Clinic work is different, slower but deeper, where I sit with patients, listen more, explain things again n again, and follow them over time. In hospital I handled day to day OPD cases, routine management, and also assisted seniors when things got complicated. That phase shaped my clinical thinking a lot, even now I sometimes catch myself thinking like hospital mode when a case looks serious. Clinic practice on the other hand taught me patience. Patients come with chronic issues, expectations, doubts, sometimes fear, and I had to adjust my approach accordingly. I focus on practical treatment planning, not just diagnosis on paper. Some days I feel I should have more time with each patient, but I try to balance it. My experience across hospital and clinic helps me understand both acute care and long term disease management. I still keep learning everyday, reading, observing patterns, correcting myself when needed, because medicine never stays same for long, and neither should the doctor.

Dr. Iravathi Adepu
I am working in Ayurveda with a kind of steady focus on really seeing what each patient needs, and I usually start from the classical principles—trying to understand the dosha shifts, the nidana behind their troubles, and why the body reacting in that particular way. From there I put together indivdualised plans, mixing Panchakarma when needed, diet changes, herbal meds, lifestyle modifications… sometimes all together if the case feels layered or chronic. I manage a wide mix of issues—like acute digestive flares, long-standing arthritis pains, different types of skin problems, and these growing lifestyle disorders that so many ppl struggle with. A lot of time goes into explaining things too, helping them follow small steps like Dinacharya or Ritucharya without feeling pressured. I kinda feel that education is half of the treatment in Ayurveda, honestly. I also consult for clients from other countries, where the main work becomes guiding them towards practical Ayurvedic routines they can actually do where they live. And at times I design whole rejuvenation or lifestyle programs, trying to align diet, yoga, daily habits, stress-handling strategies… the whole picture, not just the medicine part. Some days it flows easily, some days I tweak the plans three times until they makes sense. There’s also the follow-up part, which I try to take seriously because holistic healing isn’t instant. I keep track of how their sleep, digestion or mental ease is shifting, and if something not working, I change it without waiting too long. I like staying involved that way, supporting them through the process rather than handing a plan and stepping back. Maybe I overdo it a bit, but to me it feels right. And somewhere in all this, I keep reminding myself that Ayurveda works best when treatment is personal and humane, even if the days get a little chaotic or the schedule runs longer than I excpect.

Dr. Jatin Kumar Sharma
I am a BAMS graduate and currently running my own clinic, where I see patients on a regular basis and try to give them honest, practical care. My daily work involves understanding different health concerns, listening properly to what the patient is going through, and then planning treatment in a way that actually fits their routine. I believe treatment should not feel confusing or rushed, and sometimes even small changes make a big difference. Running my own clinic has taught me a lot about responsibility and consistency. Some days are busy, some are slow, but every patient brings a different challenge and learning. I focus mainly on Ayurvedic treatment methods, lifestyle correction and long-term health balance, rather than quick fixes. There are times when progress takes longer, but I stay patient and keep working with the person step by step. I try to keep my approach simple, practical and honest. For me, real success is when a patient feels better in daily life, sleeps better, eats better and slowly regains balance. That is what keeps me going and improving every day.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.
