I am not greeting my period fromlast 8 months - #25986

Need thoroughly examination please consult your nearest Ayurved Gynecologist.

hello jasmeet, what you’re going through is not just hormonal, it’s affecting your whole body, energy, mood, and even how you feel about yourself. When your periods stop for 8 months, especially if you’re not pregnant or in menopause age, Ayurveda looks at this as Apathya-Aaharajanya Aartava Kshaya that means your menstrual cycle (Aartava) is not being nourished or supported properly. Most likely, there’s Vata blockage (Apana Vayu vitiation) in the lower abdomen, and Pitta aggravation leading to skin changes, irritability, gas, and upper lip pigmentation.This condition is not just about the uterus. Your digestion (Agni), mental calmness, liver function, and reproductive channels (Artavavaha Srotas) they’re all connected. When one goes off, the rest follow. That’s why you’re feeling tired, bloated, dull-skinned, and emotionally burnt out.

But don’t worry the cycle can come back naturally if we support the body to balance itself again.

Let’s work step by step(for 1.5 to 2 months)

Internal Medicines

1.Rajah Pravartini Vati – 1 tab twice daily after meals with warm water (helps restart period flow) 2.Ashokarishta – 15 ml + 15 ml warm water after meals twice daily (tones uterus, regulates cycle) 3.Kumaryasava – 15 ml + 15 ml water twice daily before meals (improves digestion + supports uterus) 4.Drakshavaleha – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water (for energy and liver support) 5.Shatavari Churna – 1 tsp in warm milk morning or night (balances hormones) 6.Triphala Churna – 1 tsp with warm water at night if constipation or gas is severe

External + Lifestyle 1.Abhyanga (massage) with warm Dhanwantaram Taila 3x a week — legs, abdomen, lower back especially. Reduces Vata, body pain and emotional fatigue. 2.Castor oil hot compress on lower abdomen at night twice a week — very effective for opening Apana Vayu block.

Diet Suggestions

Avoid curd, cold drinks, fried food — they block Vata and delay periods further Add: ghee, ajwain, jeera, methi in cooking Eat: warm, nourishing meals like khichdi, moong soup, veg stew Soaked almonds (5), 1 date, 2 figs every morning — builds Ojas and energy Drink jeera-ajwain water throughout the day to reduce gas and bloating

Just to rule out deeper causes:

Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4) Pelvic ultrasound Serum Vitamin D3 Serum FSH, LH, AMH Blood Sugar

This is completely reversible with the right nourishment and daily rhythm. Don’t be scared your body is just in a state of pause. With this gentle push, you can start your cycle again and feel emotionally stable, fresher and more like yourself.

If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards, Dr.Karthika

1.Was your period regular before it stopped?

2. Any known condition? (PCOS, thyroid, stress?)

3. Current weight + height?

Mention your age, Also get USG pelvic region done.

HELLO JASMEET,

You mentioned - no periods for 8 months - body pain, laziness, fatigue - irritability, gas, dull skin - darkening of the upper lip area

This is a multi-faceted condition that suggests a deeper imbalance of your bodily systems, especially your reproductive system, digestive system, and mental emotional balance. Ayurveda calls this a tridoshic disturbance(especially vata and pitta) involving

NO PERIODS= artava Kshaya/nashtartava =dysfunction in the artavavaha srotas(reproductive channels), often due to vata imbalance, low dhatu (tissue) nutrition, hormonal depletion

BODY PAIN, LAZINESS= vata prakopa and Manda agni = disturbed vata and weak digestion/metabolism

TIREDNESS= dhatu kshaya(depletion of body tissues) = rasa and rakta Dhatu not adequently nourished

IRRITABILITY= pitta prakopa + manas dosha imbalance = mental stress and pitta increase can cause irritability, mood swings

GAS= aginmandya+ apana vata vitiation = weak digestion leads to ama(toxins) and bloating

DULL SKIN + PIGMENTATION= rakta dushti+pitta imbalance =accumulated toxins and liver imbalance reflects on skin

ROOT CAUSES you may be experiencing this due to a combination of -Stress and irregular lifestyle -improper diet -overexertion or undernourishment - use of hormonal medications or contraceptives in past - sudden weight changes loss or gain - poor digestion -> formation of ama-> blockage of reproductive channels

Don’t worry Jasmeet If you have any reports then please share those too? And start taking1.Rajahpravartni vati 1-0-1 2.tab. Aloes compound 1-0-1 3.shatavari choorna 1 tsf with lukewarm milk twice in a day. 4.Lohasava 20 ml with equal amount of Lukewarm water just after having meal twice in a day… Take 1 tsf of powder of large fennel seeds with lukewarm water twice in a day…(empty stomach) Along with these medicines include meditation,yoga, pranayam in your daily routine. Follow up after 2 months.

Absence of periods for 8 months, known as amenorrhea, combined with other symptoms you mentioned — such as fatigue, body pain, irritability, and digestive issues like gas — indicate that there might be an imbalance in your body’s doshas and possibly a disturbance in your dhatus (tissues) and agni (digestive fire). These issues can often be linked to high levels of stress, poor dietary choices, or underlying health conditions which need thorough examination.

First, it’s important to consider the possibility of vata and pitta imbalance. Vata aggravation may lead to irregularities in your cycles, cause fatigue, and increase irritability, while pitta imbalance can lead to skin problems such as dullness and darkness on the upper lip area. To help rebalance these doshas, begin by incorporating a routine of grounding and calming practices in your lifestyle. Warm cooked foods like kitchari (a blend of rice and lentils) seasoned with cumin and coriander can assist in stabilizing Vata. Including ghee in your diet could also improve your overall nourishment and digestive power.

Your daily lifestyle should integrate practices such as Abhyanga, which is self-massage using warm sesame or almond oil, to soothe a vata imbalance. Regular yoga practice and pranayama (breath exercises) could be quite beneficial too in calming the mind and reducing stress. Cater towards mindfulness and allowing yourself moments of rest through meditation.

Hydration is key: ensure you’re drinking enough warm water throughout the day, and aim to reduce foods that could increase agni imbalance such as overly spicy, oily, or fried foods.

Herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari are known in Ayurveda for their role in balancing hormones and supporting reproductive health. However, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any herbal supplements, especially if there are other medical concerns involved.

If your symptoms persist, the underlying cause should be thoroughly explored with an Ayurvedic practitioner or a healthcare professional, as there could be conditions requiring more immediate medical intervention. It may be necessary to undergo tests to rule out other causes such as thyroid issues or ovarian conditions. Immediate medical consultation is advised given the duration of symptoms and potential complications if left unchecked.
