HELLO JANVI,
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
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) SHATAVARI GRANULES= 1 tsp with warm milk in morning and night for 3 months =improves fertility, nourishes female reproductive tissues, balances pitta and vata
2) ASHOKARISHTA= 20 ml with equal water after meals for 3 months =strenghtens uterus, regulates cycles, reduces pain
3) LODHRA CHURNA= 3 gm with honey in morning for 3 months =balances pitta, improves endometrial health
4) DASHMOOLA KASHAYA= 40 ml with water twice daily before meals for 3 months =relieves pelvic pain, balances vata
5) PHAL GHRITA = 1 tsp in warm milk morning for 3 months =nourishes uterus, supports ovulation
EXTERNAL TREATMENT
1) OIL MASSAGE= warm sesame oil massage over whole body =balances vata, improves circulation to uterus
LIFESTYLE CHANGE
SLEEP= 10 pm to 6 am, avoid late nights (vata-pitta calming)
STRESS= avoid overthinking, mental strain, and emotional overload
EXERCISE= gentle yoga, no over exercising during periods
HYDRATION= warm water or herbal teas (ginger, fennel). Avoid iced drinks
AVOID= skipping meals, excessive fasting, very spicy/fried/junk food, and too much coffee/tea
YOGA ASANA -baddha konasana= opens pelvis, improves blood flow -supta baddha konasana= relaxes uterus -setu bandhasana= tones pelvic organs -viparita karani= improves circulationn, calms mind
PRANAYAM -nadi sodhana= balances hormones -bhramari= relieve stress, calms pitta -sheetali= balances heat
DIET -warm milk with ghee + a pinch of turmeric -black sesame seeds + jaggery (rich in iron and calcium) -dates, pomegranates, figs= blood nourishing -moong dal khichdi with ghee easy to digest, nourishing -fresh vegetables, especially beets and carrots improves blood
AVOID -very spicy, sour, fermented foods - pitta aggravation -cold,raw, stale foods- vata aggravation -excess coffee, cola, alcohol- hormone disruptors
HOME REMEDIES -Sesame seed + jaggery laddoo= 1 daily in winter, improves menstrual flow -Fenugreek seed tea= soothes cramps, improves digestion -Warm castor oil pack on lower abdomen before periods- relieve pain, increases blood flow
INVESTIGATION ADVISED -thyroid profile -serum prolactin-again after 3 months -day 2- 3 FSH, LH, Estradiol - serum progesterone (day 21 if 28 days cycle ) -pelvic ultrasound- check ovaries, endometrial thickness -cbc, ferritin- check for anemia
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

Hyperprolactinemia is one of the gynaecological condition which has ill effects on women health. Prolactin interacts with hormone such as oestrogen and progesterone,which are crucial for menstrual cycle. High prolactin level can suppress the production of fSH and LH which are necessary for ovulation and disruption to ovulation can lead to irregular periods,lighter periods or complete absence of periods.

Experiencing light periods that last only for approximately one and a half day can indeed be a sign of a hormonal imbalance, particularly given your history of high prolactin levels. In Ayurveda, we often associate such menstrual irregularities with an imbalance in the doshas, especially Vata and Pitta, and sometimes influenced by Kapha in the case of high prolactin.
First, it’s important to support your overall hormonal balance. Ashwagandha and Shatavari, two prominent Ayurvedic herbs, may help in stabilizing and harmonizing your endocrine system. Shatavari is particularly known for supporting female reproductive health and nourishing the tissues (dhatus). You might consider taking 1-2 capsules of Ashwagandha and Shatavari daily with warm water or milk, preferably in the evening to help reduce stress, which can elevate prolactin.
Diet plays a crucial role too — focus on eating warm, cooked meals emphasizing whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables like carrots and beets that help in maintaining hormonal equilibrium. Avoid cold, dry, or processed foods as they may disturb Vata and aggravate your condition.
Include a teaspoon of flaxseed or sesame seeds in your diet, they are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and can effectively help in balancing hormones. Stress can exacerbate hormonal issues, hence practicing daily yoga and mindfulness could be beneficial. Mindful breathing exercises can be particularly effective in calming the mind and supporting consistent hormone levels.
The timeframe for seeing improvements can vary, often it may take several months to notice significant changes. This greatly depends on individual constitution and adherence to the regimen. Consulting with a specialist in Ayurvedic medicine regularly would be invaluable in making necessary adjustments to your treatment.
Remember, while Ayurveda provides effective support, it’s crucial to continue consulting with your healthcare provider. Regular monitoring of prolactin levels and discussing any medication or therapy changes with them can provide a safe pathway towards recovery.
Light menstruation, especially with a history of high prolactin levels and persistent hormonal imbalance, can be related to a disturbance in your body’s natural balance, often involving an imbalance in the doshas, especially vata and pitta. To approach this from a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, let’s focus on stabilizing these imbalances and supporting your overall system.
First, dietary modifications can be essential. Favor warm, nourishing foods such as whole grains, cooked vegetables, and warming spices like cumin and ginger. Avoid cold and processed foods that can aggravate vata. Consuming sesame seeds with jaggery daily can help regulate your cycles over time; take one teaspoon of the mixture in the morning.
Herbs like Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) are traditionally used to support reproductive health and hormonal balance. An appropriate dosage would be around 500 mg of Ashwagandha and 1 gram of Shatavari per day, usually with warm milk. It’s crucial to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personal dosage and suitability.
Additionally, regular abhyanga (self-massage) with warm sesame oil can be calming to the vata dosha. This practice can be done daily before bathing.
For prolactin management, herbs like Vitex agnus-castus may support hormone balance, albeit they should be used cautiously and under guidance.
The timeline for seeing changes can be variable; consistency is key, and improvements might begin within 3-4 months. However, it’s important to closely monitor your health and work with a healthcare professional alongside these practices, especially if there’s ongoing, significant hormonal disturbance. If symptoms persist or worsen, consulting a specialist is vital to rule out any underlying conditions requiring urgent medical intervention.
Focus on stress reduction, sound sleep, yoga (pranayama), avoid late nights.
Favor warm, light diet; regularize digestion and lifestyle.
Improvement expected in 3–6 months with consistency.
Regularly take (under physician guidance):
1. Syrup Mensta
2. Rajahpravartini Vati
3. Mensoon Tablet
4. Kapikacchu Churna – 3 gm twice daily with warm water. It acts as dopamine (natural or enhanced prevents Prolactin levels ) For 3 months Also investigate hormonal assay after 3 months
HELLO JANVI,
Ayurvedic Perspective Light/short duration (Alpa Rajah) is commonly associated with Vata + Pitta imbalance and Artava Dhatu weakness (reproductive tissue). High prolactin indicates hormonal imbalance → in Ayurveda as Agnimandya (impaired digestion/metabolism) and disturbed Rasa–Rakta Dhatu.
Management
1. Diet (Āhāra) Warm, soothing foods: milk, ghee, sesame, dates, jaggery, soaked almonds.
Avoid: junk food, too much coffee/tea, cold & dry foods.
-Take black sesame + jaggery laddoo daily (particularly before & during periods).
2. Lifestyle (Vihāra) Normal sleep (10pm–6am). Gentle yoga: Baddha Konasana, Bhujangasana, Setubandhasana. Relieve stress (pranayama: Anulom Vilom, Bhramari).
3. Herbal Support (Aushadhi)
-Shatavari churna –1 tsp with warm milk in morning supports reproductive system.
- Ashokarishta – 20ml + equal water twice daily after meals controls menstrual flow.
-Dashmool kwath – 40 ml twice daily pacifies Vata, beneficial for pain & irregularity.
-Praval pishti (if Pitta heat symptoms are present)= 125mg with honey twice daily
4. Panchakarma (if imbalance is not corrected) Uttar Basti (medicated oil/ghee enema through uterus, performed under expert supervision). Nasya with Anu Taila (regulates hormones).
Timeline With diet + lifestyle + herbs appropriately, changes are generally noticeable in 3–6 months. Follow-up regularly, particularly to re-check the prolactin levels.
