HELLO SAPNA,

You said your periods have been irregular it only comes in 7-8 months . you are suffering from PCOD- kindly go for hormonal test and ultrasound to confirm the case

In PCOD, -your ovaries develop many small cysts-fluid filled sacs -hormonal imbalance occurs-too much male hormone(androgens) and not enough of the hormones that regulate periods(like FSH and LH)

As a result -ovulation (release of eggs) doesn’t happen properly -periods become delayed, irregular or absent - you may notice weight gain, acne, facial hairs and mood swings

In Ayurveda, PCOD is due to -Kapha dosha increase-causing heaviness , slow metabolism, cyst formation -Vata dosha disturbance-blocking normal flow of hormones and menstruation -Agni(digestive fire) is weak, causing Ama(toxins) buildup in reproductive tissues(Artava dhatu)

TREATMENT GOAL -regulating the menstrual cycle -balancing hormones -improving digestion and metabolism - reducing cyst formation and ama - improving digestion and metabolism -reducing cyst formation and ama - improving ovulation and fertility -cleansing and toning reproductive system

Hello Sapna , First step is to know the reason behind it . Were your periods always like this or is this a recent issue . Tell me about the flow and days . Also if you got any tests done as you told you were on ocps so I’m assuming you must have your ultrasound report. Do answer these questions before moving forward with the treatment

Hi sapna this is Dr Vinayak as considering your problem…see maa you are getting irregular periods for long time once in 8 month… right…

*Do you have any USG abdomen report if so feel free to send… Your harmonal imbalance and diet also effect your problem…

*Kindly maintain proper diet and exercise

Irregular periods like yours can be rooted in various imbalances, often related to hormonal issues or lifestyle factors rather than weight or bloating concerns. According to Ayurveda, irregular menstruation can be a signal of Vata dosha imbalance or other disruptions in your body’s natural rhythms. Using oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) as a temporary solution might not address the main problem.

Firstly, look at your diet. Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of a diet that supports hormonal balance. Eating a Vata-pacifying diet can be particularly helpful. Include warming, cooked foods; root vegetables; whole grains such as amaranth, basmati rice, or wheat; and healthy fats like ghee or sesame oil… Avoid cold, raw, or hard-to-digest foods that might exacerbate Vata.

Second, integrate some routine into your lifestyle to balance Vata. Wake up and go to sleep at the same time every day. Regularity in routines helps stabilize the Vata dosha. Engage in gentle exercises like Yoga or walking, especially in the morning, to maintain healthy circulation and support the reproductive system.

Third, there are some effective herbal remedies in Ayurveda. Ashwagandha, Shatavari, and Guduchi are traditional herbs known to support the reproductive system and harmonize hormones. You could take 1/2 teaspoon of these herbs in warm milk once a day.

Additionally, consider practicing Swadhisthana Chakra meditation, this specific focus can help in balancing reproductive energy centers, potentially aiding in regulating periods over time.

Remember, it’s vital to have continuous follow-ups with your Ayurvedic practitioner to monitor progress and make adjustments. Consistency is key in Ayurveda so give the body, some time to respond to natural treatments. If you experience any unusual symptoms, consult an healthcare professional immediately.

Irregular periods can indeed be troublesome and can stem from various factors like stress, lifestyle, or more intrinsic imbalances in your body. In the Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition, we look at this through the lens of your doshas—likely a Vata imbalance here. Vata governs movement and its disturbance can affect the menstrual cycle significantly.

First, I would recommend focusing on regularizing your daily routine to pacify Vata. Aim to wake up, eat, and go to bed at the same times each day. Incorporate warm, nourishing foods in your diet like ghee, sesame oil, and cooked vegetables. Avoid raw salads and cold foods as they may aggravate Vata further.

Yoga and pranayama are beneficial too. Practicing poses like Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose) and Supta Baddha Konasana can help support uterine health. Breathing exercises such as Nadi Shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) also help in calming the nervous system and balancing Vata.

Certain herbs might be beneficial – Ashoka (Saraca asoca) and Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) have been traditionally used to support menstrual health. You could use these under the guidance of a practitioner, as they help strengthen and balance reproductive organs.

Lastly, consistent sleep is crucial. Aim for 7-9 hours of restful sleep in a quiet and comfortable setting. Avoid stimulants like caffeine or heavy meals before bed.

If symptoms persist, consider consulting an ayurvedic practitioner for tailored advice. They can provide further therapeutic suggestions based on your specific prakriti. It’s important to rule out any underlying conditions with a healthcare professional, especially if this has been an ongoing issue despite medical consultation.
