Thank you for explaining your condition in detail. Although your PCOS was resolved two years ago with medication and your periods returned, the recent decrease in blood flow along with night shift work suggests possible hormonal fluctuations, mild inflammation, and altered circadian rhythm. Addressing digestion, clearing ama (toxins), improving dhatu formation, and balancing hormones will be key.
