I understand your concern, especially with your marriage plans. The change in your menstrual pattern—from a good period to a scanty one, and now to just spotting, particularly after fibroid removal—warrants attention.
In Ayurveda, changes in the menstrual cycle are often linked to imbalances in the three Doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), which govern all physiological processes, and the health of the Artava Dhatu (reproductive tissue).
Here is a general Ayurvedic perspective on your situation:
1. Possible Ayurvedic Interpretation Fibroid Removal Aftermath: The fibroid itself (Granthi) is often seen as a Kapha-dominant disorder (accumulation of mass). The surgery to remove it is a significant intervention.
Scanty Periods/Spotting (Artava Kshaya / Alpartava): Scanty periods or reduced flow are often primarily linked to an aggravation of Vata Dosha. Vata governs movement and is responsible for the downward flow of menstruation (Apana Vata). When Vata is imbalanced, it can cause the menstrual flow to become reduced, scanty, delayed, or painful.
Age and Perimenopause: At 42, you are in the phase of life (Vata dominance after the age of 40) where your body naturally starts preparing for perimenopause. Vata tends to increase, which can lead to irregular, scanty, or fluctuating periods.
Stress and Vata: Planning a marriage and managing health concerns can be stressful, which severely aggravates Vata, further disrupting the menstrual rhythm and flow.
a. Diet (Ahara) Focus on Warm, Nourishing, Grounding Foods: Prioritize freshly cooked, warm, and easily digestible foods.
Include Healthy Fats: Incorporate Ghee (clarified butter), sesame oil, and nuts (like almonds, walnuts) to pacify Vata and nourish the reproductive tissues.
Spice Wisely: Use warming and digestive spices like ginger, turmeric, cumin, coriander, and fennel.
Hydration: Drink plenty of warm water and herbal teas.
Foods to Promote Flow (Under guidance): Traditionally, black sesame seeds (Til) with jaggery, and unripe papaya (avoid during actual bleeding) are used to encourage flow.
b. Lifestyle (Vihara) Regular Routine: Maintain a fixed schedule for sleeping, waking, and eating to ground Vata. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep.
Stress Management: Practice Yoga (gentle, restorative poses), Meditation, and Pranayama (breathing techniques like Nadi Shodhana - alternate nostril breathing) to manage stress and balance Vata.
Abhyanga (Oil Massage): Daily self-massage with warm sesame oil is highly recommended for calming Vata, nourishing the skin, and improving circulation.
Avoid: Excessive cold, raw foods, highly processed foods, intense or strenuous exercise, and late nights
Next Steps Given your symptoms and planning for marriage (which implies reproductive health is a priority), your best course of action is to:
Consult a Gynecologist: Rule out any immediate concerns post-surgery or signs of early perimenopause (which can present with fluctuating cycles).
Treatment 1) phala ghrita-1 tsf - 1 hr after food
