HELLO SAPNA,

You’ve had irregular periods since your periods began, which means your menstrual cycle has never stabilised naturally. Youve been prescribed 21- day hormonal pills by doctors, but when you stopped, periods stopped again. That suggests your body is not producing or regulating hormones on its own, and is dependent on external hormones (the pills) to trigger menstruation

You also mention -normal weight 48 kg, which is fine -no facial hair, acne or hairfall so PCOS- likely symptoms are not visible -no thyroid or chronic illness

SO what’s going on?

Irregular periods are called “Aartava vyapad” or “Anartava”. if absent altogether

This condition is primarily caused by

1) APANA VATA IMBALANCE Apana vata is the sub-type of vata dosha that controls menstruation, urination, and bowel movement. when it is disturbed due to stress, wrong diet, cold lifestyle, or weakness in reproductive tissues, periods become irregular or absent

2) WEAK RASA AND ARTAVA DHATU -Your rasa dhatu (plasma/nutritional fluid) and Artava dhatu (female reproductice tissue) may be underdeveloped or not nourished well, leading to weak menstrual cycles.

3) PITTA INVOLVEMENT (white discharge) -White discharge called Shweta pradara is often linked to pitta-kapha disturbance, poor vaginal immunity, and internal heat or infection

TREATMENT GOAL The treatment is not just to trigger periods temprorarily but to -correct the internal hormonal balance -strengthen apana vata and uterus -build artava dhatu female reproductive system -balance pitta to stop white discharge -rejuvenate the entire menstrual system of natural, regular periods

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with warm water after meals twice daily for 3 months =regulates menstrual cycle, balances hormones, tones uterus

2) SHATAVARI KALPA= 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime for 3 months =nourishes reproductive tissues , improves hormonal health

3) PUSHYANUG CHURNA= 2 gm with rice water twice daily after meals for 3 months =controls excessive white discharge, tones uterus

4) RAJAHPRAVARTINI VATI= 1 tabs twice daily only for 5-7 days around periods time (use only when cycle is overdue) =uterine stimulant taken for 5-7 days around expected period of delayed

5) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals for 3months =balances urinary and reproductive systems, helpful in white discharge

YOGA ASANA These practices enhances blood flow to reproductive organs and balance hormonal glands -supta baddha konuşana -bhujangasana -apanasana -paschimottanasana -malasana

PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= balances hormones -bhramari= calms mind and nervous system -sheetali= reduces vaginal heat/discharge

HOME REMEDIES

INVESTIGATIONS ADVISED Even if symptoms are mild, some basic test is necessary -pelvic ultrasound -thyroid profile -serum prolactin -LH/FSH hormonal test -vitamin D and B12

-Your condition is treatable naturally, but needs consistent, holistic approach -Ayurvedic treatment works slow but deep- aim for 3-6 months -Avoid relying on hormone pills - they only mask the symptoms -focus on balancing body + mind, not just triggering periods

DO FOLLOW CONSISTENTLY

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

In Ayurveda, irregular periods can stem from an imbalance in your doshas, primarily the Vata dosha, which governs movement in the body. The disrupted cycle you’re experiencing may relate to stress, poor digestion or nutritional deficiencies. Let’s explore some personalized approaches you might try to regulate your menstrual cycle naturally.

First, focus on balancing Vata with a consistent daily routine. Try to sleep and wake up at the same times each day, aiming for at least 7-8 hours of good quality sleep. This consistency can help stabilize your body’s natural rhythms. Practicing yoga and meditation can also be beneficial in calming the mind and reducing stress levels.

Diet plays a crucial role in regulating menstrual cycles. Incorporate more warm, cooked foods into your diet, including whole grains such as brown rice or oats and warm beverages like herbal teas (ginger tea can be particularly soothing). Ensure that you’re getting enough healthy fats—ghee, sesame oil, or flaxseeds can be helpful for grounding Vata.

Herbal remedies may offer additional support in regulating your cycle. Ashwagandha and Shatavari are two potent herbs, known for their endocrine-supporting properties. Ashwagandha can reduce stress and improve energy, while Shatavari is often recommended for its cooling and restorative properties. You can consume these herbs in powdered form with warm milk, taken either in the morning or before bedtime.

Addressing white discharge, consider the possibility of excess Kapha or underlying imbalances in the reproductive system. Trikatu, a combination of ginger, black pepper, and long pepper, can improve digestion and may help with excess discharge. Take it in small amounts with honey or warm water.

It’s key to maintain adequate hydration — drink warm water throughout the day, but avoid excessive cold foods/drinks, which can disturb Vata dosha. Regular exercise, avoiding excessively intense workouts, helps balance hormones without exacerbating stress levels. Remember, while these recommendations may support your condition, it’s essential to consult a professional Ayurvedic practitioner for a tailored treatment based on your unique constitution.

Regulating irregular periods often involves addressing underlying imbalances in the body, and Siddha-Ayurveda can provide some insights and approaches worth considering. Your current symptoms suggest an imbalance possibly related to vata dosha, as it regulates movement within the body, including the menstrual cycle.

Firstly, focus on stabilizing your daily routine to align with natural rhythms. Eat warm, cooked meals at regular times to help balance vata. Meals like khichadi, which consist of rice and mung dal, are easy on digestion and can be nourishing for your agni—your digestive fire. Try to avoid raw, cold, or drying foods, which might aggravate vata leading to irregular periods.

Herbs can also play a key role in balancing your system. Shatavari is known to support the female reproductive system. You could take it in powder form—mix a teaspoon in a glass of warm milk daily. Ashoka is another herb that can promote healthy menstruation rhythms. Be cautious, though, and use these remedies under the supervision of an Ayurvedic practitioner, especially if you have ongoing medical treatments.

Lifestyle adjustments are vital too. Practicing yoga daily, especially sequences targeting the pelvis like Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose), can improve circulation and alleviate tension in that area. Reducing stress via meditation or pranayama could calm vata disturbances.

The issue of white discharge might indicate excess kapha or even infections sometimes, so it might be useful to consult with a professional to ensure there isn’t any infection that needs medical intervention. However, drinking warm water with ginger, which is warming and detoxifying, could gently remove excess kapha.

Finally, despite the alternative approaches, if the condition remains persistent or leads to further complications, continuously consult with a healthcare provider to understand the full scope of your condition and the best ways to address it. Balancing Ayurveda and conventional medicine often produces the best outcomes.
