Period problem , lessblooding, pain , irregularcycle - #31606
I have been facing this issue of irregular cycle since , last 3-4 months ,Ihave a lot of breakout, sometimecycle come ontime , and sometime it goes above 35-40 days long cycle . When the periods come the blooding is very less but pain is verymuch.


Doctors’ responses
hello ojasvi ,
From what you shared, your irregular cycles, long delays (35–40 days), very little bleeding but severe pain, and skin breakouts all point to a hormonal imbalance with weak digestion and circulation. Since you are only 22, this can be corrected naturally with proper medicines and routine. Still, it should not be ignored because irregular cycles and scanty flow can affect your long-term reproductive health.
Your history of PSVT (fast heartbeats) means we should choose medicines that are safe and gentle, without over-stimulating effects.
Treatment plan
Ama Pachana (first 5 days if you feel heaviness, bloating, gas) Hingvastaka churna – 1 pinch with warm water before meals, twice daily.
Internal Medicines (for 2–3 months)
Kumaryasava – 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner (regulates cycles and hormones). Rajahpravartini Vati – 1 tablet at night after dinner for 1 month (to correct scanty flow and painful periods). Avipattikara churna – 1 teaspoon at night with warm water (relieves constipation, acidity, and helps skin).
External Support Apply castor oil pack on the lower abdomen during pain (lukewarm castor oil on cloth, keep for 10–15 min). It reduces cramps naturally.
Food & Routine Take warm water, add ghee in food daily. Avoid curd, cold drinks, and bakery items. Include sesame seeds, jaggery, soaked raisins, papaya.
Investigations (to confirm cause) Thyroid profile Pelvic ultrasound Hemoglobin, Vitamin D, B12
This will help balance hormones, reduce pain, clear skin, and regulate your cycles gradually.
warm regards, Dr.karthika

Would you like me to also add a pain-relief SOS medicine (like Hingvastak Churna or Shoolahara Vati for cramps) in the prescription?
HELLO OJASVI,
This means -Your uterus is shedding less lining (endometrium) than before -this often happens when hormonal balance shifts- especially estrogen and progesterone levels
From an Ayurvedic point of view, this is Artava kshaya (reduced menstrual flow) and mild Ritu vyapad (cycle disturbance)
MAIN IMBALANCE -Vata (irregular timing, pain without proper flow) -Pitta (heat, early ovulation symptoms) -Rakta dhatu kshaya(less blood tissue nourishment)
TREATMENT GOALS -balance vata and pitta so your cycle comes on time and without pain -nourish rakta dhatu so the uterine lining builds up properly-> healthy flow -strengthen the uterus and ovaries for better ovulation and hormone rhythm -relieve pain naturally without harming hormones -prevent long-term issues like infertility, PCOS, or endometrial weakness

Your condition is not dangerous right now, but its a signal your body’s hormonal rhythm is slightly off
-If we address it now with Ayurvedic nourishment. + lifestyle discipline, your cycles can return to healthy flow in few months -If ignored for long, it can progress into irregular ovulation, infertility, or endometrial weakness -Be patient= the uterus and hormones need at least 3-6 cycles to fully reset
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPUL

Irregular menstrual cycles, coinciding with acne breakouts and painful periods can be indicative of hormonal imbalance, and from an Ayurvedic perspective, it’s important to consider the potential dosha imbalances and dietary/lifestyle factors involved. The symptoms you’re describing may suggest an imbalance in Vata and Pitta doshas.
First, let’s focus on dietary recommendations that can help balance Vata and Pitta. It might be beneficial to include more warming, unctuous, and easily digestible foods like cooked vegetables, grains like rice, and soupy lentils. Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods which can aggravate Vata. Similarly, limit spicy, oily, and fried food as these can exacerbate Pitta imbalance.
Incorporating herbs like Ashwagandha and Shatavari could be helpful, as these are known for supporting reproductive health and balancing hormones. Ashwagandha can help soothe Vata, while Shatavari is particularly nourishing for maintaining regular menstrual functions. A typical dosage might be around 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of each powder mixed with warm milk, taken at bedtime. It’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplements.
Lifestyle modifications plays a role as well. Ensuring regular sleep patterns and adequate rest is vital. Practicing Yoga and meditation, particularly poses like Supta Baddha Konasana and seated forward folds, may help in reducing menstrual pain by improving the flow and calming the mind.
Additionally, Triphala is often recommended to support digestive health, which plays a significant role in any imbalance. A small dosage (around 1/4 teaspoon) with warm water before bed may aid in regularizing bowel movements and detoxification.
While these measures can support your journey towards balance, it’s important to find underlying causes, and a consultation with a healthcare expert is wise. Seeking an integrative approach with your healthcare provider can ensure a comprehensive evaluation. Be mindful that if your symptoms significantly worsen or if you feel unwell, seeking urgent medical advice is necessary.
Irregular menstrual cycles, less bleeding, and severe pain can indicate an imbalance of doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta in this case. This might also show some disturbance in the reproductive tissues, or Artava dhatu, alongside some hormonal imbalance. We’ll focus on harmonizing these through dietary, lifestyle, and herbal suggestions rooted in the Siddha-Ayurvedic tradition.
First, dietary considerations are vital. Incorporate warm, nourishing foods like whole grains (such as brown rice and quinoa), cooked vegetables, and warming spices like turmeric and ginger. Avoid cold foods, raw vegetables, and excessive caffeine, as they can aggravate Vata. Adding a teaspoon of jeera (cumin) seeds in your hot meals can aid digestion and help balance Vata.
Lifestyle changes play a significant role. Establish a regular routine to calm Vata dosha. Aim to sleep and wake up at the same time daily, ensuring at least 7 hours of restful sleep. Gentle yoga, focusing on postures such as Uttanasana (Forward Bend) and Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose), can be beneficial for this condition. Practicing Pranayama, especially Nadi Shodhana (Alternate Nostril Breathing), can help create balance and reduce stress.
Herbal remedies should be considered too. Shatavari, known for its strength in supporting the female reproductive system, can be taken as a powder mixed with warm milk daily. Additionally, Ashwagandha can help manage stress and support balance in your hormones. A paste of cinnamon and honey taken with warm water can also help regulate menstrual flow.
Keep an eye on the symptoms and consult a healthcare provider if irregularities or pain persist. If your condition worsens or you feel anything severe, immediate medical consultation is essential. Balancing these factors can take time, but integrating these elements into your daily life can lead to a more harmonious menstrual cycle.
