Prolactin high and other issues - #31574

Need personal consultation.

hello aarti, you are dealing with multiple issues high prolactin, acidity, constipation, dizziness, and cervical spondylosis. In Ayurveda, many of these problems are linked to weak digestion, Vata imbalance, and hormonal imbalance. High prolactin can affect your menstrual cycle and overall hormone balance. Cervical spondylosis is due to wear-and-tear in neck bones, aggravated by Vata imbalance. Digestion issues like acidity and constipation are linked to weak Agni (digestive fire) and accumulation of Ama (toxins). By improving digestion, balancing Vata and Pitta, and supporting hormonal balance, we can address most of these naturally, reduce dizziness, and improve overall health.

Ama Pachana / Digestion Support (first 5–7 days) Trikatu Churna – ½ tsp with honey after lunch, once daily. Hingvastaka Churna – ½ tsp with warm water before meals, twice daily.

Internal Medicines (2–3 months, then review) Chitrakadi Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food (for acidity and digestion). Shankhapushpi Churna – 1 tsp with warm milk at night (for dizziness and brain support). Ashwagandha Churna – ½ tsp with warm milk at night (supports Vata, reduces stress, improves sleep). Ashokarishta / Kumaryasava – 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner (supports hormonal balance and prolactin regulation). Isabgol (Psyllium husk) – 1 tsp with warm water at night for constipation.

External Support

Neck and shoulder massage with warm sesame oil daily to reduce cervical spondylosis stiffness. Gentle yoga postures like neck rotations, shoulder stretches, and Cat-Cow pose to improve cervical flexibility.

Warm water fomentation on abdomen to relieve acidity and bloating.

Lifestyle & Diet

Eat warm, cooked, easy-to-digest meals; avoid fried, junk, and spicy food. Drink 2–2.5 L water daily. Avoid lying down immediately after meals. Sleep 7–8 hours and manage stress with meditation or deep breathing. Avoid excess caffeine and alcohol.

Investigations (for understanding root cause) Serum Prolactin (repeat to monitor) Thyroid profile (TSH, Free T4) Liver and kidney function tests Vitamin B12, D levels Ultrasound pelvis (if cycles are irregular)

With consistent Ayurvedic medicines, diet, and lifestyle changes, prolactin can normalize, digestion improves, dizziness reduces, and cervical discomfort can be managed naturally. These measures take time (2–3 months) but are safe and holistic.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO AARTI,

1) HIGH PROLACTIN -prolactin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. -Normally, it is important for breast milk production after delivery -In women who are not pregnant or breastfeeding, high prolactin can cause problems like irregular periods, breast discharge, infertility, or sometimes even headaches and dizziness. -From an Ayurvedic view= This is seen as an imbalance of kapha (excess fluid/hormonal build up) and Pitta (hormonal fire disturbance) with underlying weakness of Agni(digestive/metabolic fire)

2) ACIDITY AND CONSTIPATION -These are digestive imbalances- pitta (too much heat/acid) + vata (dryness, irregular movement in intestines)

3) CERVICAL SPONDYLOSIS -Age-related degeneration of the neck spine and discs -Ayurveda calls this a Vata vyadhi (disorder due to aggravated vata drying up the tissues)

4) DIZZINESS -Can come from cervical spine nerve compression, poor digestion, or hormonal imbalance -In Ayurveda, this in linked with Vata-Pitta imbalance.

Elevated prolactin levels, acidity, constipation, cervical spondylosis, and dizziness can be an intricate health puzzle requiring thoughtful Ayurvedic intervention. Addressing these concerns demands a multi-dimensional approach rooted in the balance of your doshas, particularly the Vata and Pitta.

For high prolactin levels, consider focusing on reducing stress as it can influence hormonal imbalances. Daily practices like meditation or simple breathing exercises like pranayama can be implemented. Brahmi or Ashwagandha supplements may also help manage stress and stabilize hormone levels naturally but consult a local Ayurvedic practitioner for appropriate dosing.

Regarding acidity, which is likely a sign of increased Pitta dosha, adopting a Pitta-pacifying diet is essential. Favor cooling foods like cucumber, melon, and zucchini while steering clear of spicy and fermented foods. Drinking warm water infused with fennel seeds through the day can also offer relief.

Constipation suggests Vata imbalance, so prioritize warmth and oiliness in diet. Regular intake of ghee and fibre-rich foods like oatmeal, cooked vegetables, may ease bowel movements. Triphala churna at bedtime with warm water or milk acts as natural laxative and supports bowel health.

Cervical spondylosis benefit from gentle neck exercises. Hot oil massages with Mahanarayana oil can pain and stiffness while herbal formations like Guggulu may further alleviate discomfort.

For dizziness, a balanced routine with regular meal times, sufficient rest, is important. Almond milk, rich in calcium and warmth, might aid symptoms.

Caution: For persistent issues or worsening symptoms, seek an immediate Ayurvedic consultation nearby. Balance and moderation with a little attention to lifestyle are often key in weaving a comprehensive solution.

High prolactin levels and your other symptoms point to a kapha and vata imbalance in your system. In Ayurvedic terms, this might be affecting your shukra dhatu (reproductive tissue) and digestion, as well as leading to accumulated ama (toxins). Let’s go step-by-step on what you can do.

First, for the acidity and constipation, focus on balancing your digestive fire or agni. Begin your day with a teaspoon of grated ginger mixed with a pinch of rock salt before meals. This can stimulate digestion. Eating at regular intervals is crucial. Follow a sattvic diet that avoids excessively spicy, fried, or processed foods. Include warm, cooked meals rather than raw salads. Drinking warm water throughout the day helps in flushing out toxins.

For cervical spondylosis and dizziness, gentle yoga postures can be beneficial. Focus on neck rotations, forward bends, and shoulder stretches, but avoid overstraining or sudden movements. Practicing Nadi Shodhana Pranayama (alternate nostril breathing) helps in balancing the body’s energies.

To specifically work on the elevated prolactin, herbs like Shatavari can be useful. Consuming 1 teaspoon of Shatavari powder with warm milk at night can support hormonal balance. Ashwagandha is another herb that aids in reducing stress levels that may contribute to hormonal imbalances; 1 teaspoon can be mixed with warm water or milk.

Limit your caffeine intake as it can exacerbate dizziness and acidity. Incorporating a daily routine of oil pulling with sesame oil may help in reducing vata imbalance, which can manifest as dizziness and neck discomfort.

Lastly, since high prolactin can be linked sometimes to underlying conditions like pituitary issues, it’s advisable to monitor symptoms closely. While these Ayurvedic solutions can help, if symptoms persist or worsen, a consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended.
