HELLO SOUMITA,
From your description, you are having -irregular cycles- sometimes after 3 months -bleeding starting and stopping -This month, bleeding continued >15days
In modern medicine , this can happen due to -Hormonal imbalance like PCOS, thyroid issues, perimenopause -Uterine problems - fibroids, polyp, endometrial hyperplasia -Blood related issues- low clotting factors, anemia
In Ayurveda, this condition is close to Asrigdara/Raktapradar- which means excessive, irregular or prolonged uterine bleeding
-Pitta dosha= heat, blood circulation gets aggravated->leading to excessive bleeding -Vata dosha= disturbance causes irregularity in cycle -Dhatu kshaya= weakness of reproductive tissues makes uterus unable to hold and regulate bleeding
TREATMENT GOALS -Stop or control ongoing bleeding -balance pitta and vata dosha -strengthen uterus and reproductive system -correct underlying cause- hormonal, uterine health -prevent recurrence and improve overall strength
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals twice daily =regulates menstrual cycle, tones uterus, stops excessive bleeding
2) LODHRA CHURNA= 3gm with cold water twice daily =cooling, pitta balancing , helps in clotting and reducing flow
3) PRAVAL PISHTI = 125mg with honey twice daily =acts as a natural coolant, stops bleeding, improves hemoglobin
4) KAMDUDHA RASA (with mukta)= 125mg twice daily with rose water =for pitta control, acidity, and burning sensation with periods
5) SHATAVARI KALPA= 1 tsp with milk at bedtime =balances hormones, strengthens uterus, nourishes reproductive tissues
6) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =works on hormones, urinary and reproductive health
DURATION= 2-3 months
DIET -cooling foods= milk, ghee, buttermilk, cucumber, ash gourd, pomegranate, grapes, amla, coconut water -Iron rich foods= dates, black raisins (soaked overnight), jaggery (in small amount) -light, easily digestible meals- khichdi, mung dal, rice -plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration
AVOID -spicy, sour, salty, fried, fermented foods -tea, coffee, alcohol -excessive heat, long sun exposure -heavy exercise, stress, late night sleep
YOGA ASANAS -supta baddha konasana -viparita karani -balasana -setu bandhasana
PRANAYAM -sheetali/sheetkari -anulom vilom -gentle meditation for stress reduction
Avoid strong, forceful yoga during active bleeding
HOME REMEDIES -Durva grass juice = 10 ml fresh juice once daily-> strong homeostatic effect -coriander seed decoction= 1 tsp seeds boiled in 2 cups water-> reduce to 1 cup-> drink twice daily -banana flower cooked with curd-> helps reduce bleeding -pomegranate rind powder-> 1/2 tsp with water once daily
INVESTIGATIONS NEEDED -PELVIC ULTRASOUND= to check for fibroids , polyps, PCOS

Irregular menstrual cycles and prolonged bleeding can be quite distressing and they may indicate an imbalance within the body. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this condition could be attributed to a disruption of the Apana Vata, a subtype of Vata dosha, responsible for downward elimination and reproductive cycle regulation.
The irregularity and prolonged bleeding you’re experiencing may need immediate attention, especially if the bleeding continues or worsens. In such cases, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation to rule out any underlying medical conditions such as hormonal imbalances, fibroids or polyps.
Ayurvedic management focuses on re-establishing balance, and for Apana Vata imbalance, dietary and lifestyle changes can be helpful. Consider including warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest, such as soups with cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Avoid cold foods and beverages, which might aggravate Vata. Incorporating ghee in moderation and sesame oil can also provide nourishing support.
Herbal preparations might be beneficial too. Herbs like Ashoka (Saraca indica) have traditionally been used to support female reproductive health. Dashamoola, an Ayurvedic formulation, can be helpful in balancing Vata. However, it is recommended to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting these, to ensure they’re suitable for your specific condition.
Practicing yoga and pranayama can be supportive in harmonizing Vata. Focus on poses like Paschimottanasana or Supta Baddha Konasana which encourage relaxation. Stress management is key, as stress can exacerbate Vata imbalances, so gentle breathing exercises or meditation might also assist in calming the mind.
Remember, it’s crucial to ensure there is no severe anemia, excessive fatigue, or any other serious symptoms accompanying your condition. Seeking professional medical help to manage heavy and irregular bleeding is vital, and Ayurveda can be complementary in maintaining overall wellness.
Irregular menstrual cycles like yours might be linked to imbalances in your doshas, particularly Vata and possibly Pitta. When Vata aggravates, it can disrupt the natural rhythm of the body, including the menstrual cycle. Pitta, when imbalanced, can contribute to excessive heat and can also affect menstrual bleeding.
Firstly, address nutrition and dietary habits. Start incorporating foods that are warming but not overly spicy. Favor cooked meals with lightly spiced dishes, including ingredients like cumin, coriander, and fennel, which help balance Vata and Pitta. Consider drinking Ashoka tree bark decoction, renowned in Ayurvedic texts for supporting gynecological health and regulating menstrual flow. Boil Ashoka bark with water until reduced, and consume half a cup twice a day.
Next, look at your daily activities. Developing a consistent daily routine helps stabilize Vata. Establish regular meal times and a sleep schedule; this can significantly adjust your body’s natural rhythms. Engage in gentle yoga postures like Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose) and Supta Baddha Konasana, practiced with deep breathing, to expand and improve circulation in the pelvic area.
Monitor your stress levels, as stress can aggravate Vata and disturb hormonal balance. Consider practicing meditation or Yoga Nidra, especially before sleep, which is deeply calming for the nervous system.
However, given the prolonged bleeding you’re experiencing now, it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional who can provide an immediate evaluation. While these practices may support balancing your system, excessive or prolonged bleeding may signal a need for immediate medical intervention. Stay observant of your physical responses and seek attention if the condition persists or worsens.
