Doctors’ responses

Hello Tazmeen, Based on your report, the findings indicate:

Endometrium: It appears heterogeneously echogenic, which can sometimes indicate hormonal changes, early pregnancy, or potential abnormalities like endometrial hyperplasia. The thickness of 10.6 mm is slightly elevated for certain phases of the menstrual cycle. But if periods are due then this thickness is normal. Do you have any other symptoms like pain, or PMS? Bartholin Duct Cyst: This cyst in the right vaginal wall often occurs due to blockage in the Bartholin glands. It can sometimes resolve on its own, but in cases of discomfort or infection, treatment might be necessary. Since you missed your period, it could be due to hormonal imbalances, early pregnancy, or other reproductive factors that need evaluation.

Missing periods can be distressing, and the presence of endometriosis alongside a Bartholin duct cyst can significantly impact your menstrual health and overall well-being. In Ayurveda, endometriosis is often linked to Vata and Kapha imbalances, which can lead to stagnation and inflammation in the reproductive system. To address this condition, it is essential to focus on reducing inflammation and promoting healthy circulation.

Herbs such as Ashoka and Shatavari can help regulate your menstrual cycle and support the health of the endometrium. Additionally, Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and can be beneficial in managing symptoms. Incorporating a diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while avoiding processed foods and excessive fats can help restore balance.

Gentle yoga practices focusing on the pelvic area can improve circulation and may alleviate some discomfort. It’s also crucial to stay hydrated and manage stress, as both can significantly impact your hormonal balance.

Dealing with missed periods and endometriosis can be quite tricky, to say the least. In Ayurveda, we often see conditions like endometriosis and irregular periods as an imbalance in the doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta. When in balance, they support proper movement and transformation, but when out of sync, can show up in reproductive issues like yours.

For starters, let’s look at how diet might help. Avoid heating and spicy foods, which could aggravate Pitta. Cooling foods like cucumber, fennel, and coriander can ease inflammation. Keep your meal times regular as irregular eating habits can mess with your digestive fire, or Agni. Maybe eat smaller meals more often to keep energy steady.

I’d suggest incorporating ginger and turmeric into your diet — they’re natural anti-inflammatories that could help with your condition. A pinch here and there in your meals or warm water should be good. Also, sipping on warm water throughout the day aids digestion and keeps Vata in check.

Stress can be a silent trigger for missed periods as well, so think about a steady yoga routine or meditation practice. Deep, slow breathing can work wonders for mind and body balance. Try even 10 minutes daily before bedtime.

Bartholin duct cyst often comes from an imbalance too, more Kapha-related, meaning stagnation. Warm sitz baths can bring relief here. Gently soaking in a warm tub for about 15 minutes, couple of times a day may encourage drainage and comfort.

Even while you consider these, please don’t skip out on consulting your regular healthcare provider. Ayurveda and modern medicine can complement each other beautifully, but an accurate medical evaluation is vital.

Just remember, every dosha imbalance takes a bit of a different approach, and there’s no instant fix. Patience is key, so don’t lose heart! It’s all about finding your unique balance and path to healing.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Ayush Varma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

Dr. Cherukuri Savitha Varenya
I am Dr. Cherukuri Savitha Varenya — Ayurvedic physician with a heart set on blending classical healing with today’s complex health realities. My early clinical experience was rooted in pediatric and neonatal care, where I worked as a Duty Medical Officer at Ankura Hospitals and also at Paramita. Those years in the NICU and PICU taught me more than just protocols — how to really hold space for families in chaos, how to stay calm, and how small things matter... like explaining something twice if needed, or just sitting down next to a worried parent. That grounding in acute care gave me a different lens when I stepped deeper into Ayurveda. I started exploring traditional systems more deeply — Siddha medicine caught my attention first, then marma therapy. I trained at Chakrasiddh Holistic Healing Centre, where the cases were not always straightforward. Chronic pain, neuro issues, degenerative stuff, lifestyle burnout — we weren’t just treating, we were unblocking. That work showed me how body memory holds trauma, and how marma can quietly reset systems that are stuck. Right now, I’m part of the clinical and research team at Vasavi Ayurveda, where I’m involved in herbal formulation — and it’s really rewarding. Developing products that are not only rooted in Ayurvedic texts but backed by evidence & outcomes is something I care about deeply. We're not just bottling herbs — we’re trying to build trust through results. Whether I’m working with children, supporting women with hormonal irregularities, or designing a remedy for joint stiffness — I try to bring empathy first. I don’t rush through consultations. I listen, ask again if needed, and tailor treatments that feel livable to the patient. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all protocols, never did. Ayurveda isn’t separate from life. It is life, seen through a different lens. I just try to help ppl see that clearly, one case at a time.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. Sanchi Damodhar
I am an Ayurvedic doctor with about 3 years of hands-on experience, mainly dealing with lifestyle disorders like PCOD, weight gain, diabetes, stress, and gut stuff—like bloating or weak digestion or just that feeling something’s off. I did my BAMS coz I was really drawn toward natural healing, not just the herbs part, but how everything connects—mind, food, sleep, mood... all of it. What I really try to focus on is not just giving medicine n sending people off. I like to understand what’s behind the symptoms... like why their metabolism’s slowed down or why they keep getting acidity despite eating less. That’s where my work with diet and mindset come in. I use Ayurvedic principles, yes, but I also mix it with small practical stuff—daily routines, sleep hygiene, stress release, food planning, whatever feels doable for that person. It’s not always about detoxes or strict regimens, though sometimes that helps too. Depends, really. I’ve seen good results when people actually get that they don’t need to do huge things. Just right guidance at the right time. I try to keep things light in consultation, make people feel heard, not rushed. I genuinely like when someone says “no one explained it to me like this before” — that feels nice. My whole approach is basically trying to make health feel natural again. Nothing fancy. Just rooted in the real Ayurvedic logic and a lot of listening. And yes, there’s trial and error sometimes, every case is different. But that’s what makes it kind of real. If you're dealing with any of those everyday-but-tiring health issues, I’ll do my best to figure it out with you—not just for now, but in a way that holds up longer term.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

Dr. Amina CA
I am still kinda wrapping my head around how much has happned in just these last 8 months. I got to see over 500 patients—not just names on a file but real ppl with stories, symptoms that didn’t match books, and responses to treatment that taught me a lot more than classroom ever did. Every single case added something—sometimes confidence, sometimes doubt, but mostly clarity about why Ayurveda needs to be personal. That whole idea of root-cause isn’t just a phrase to me now, cause I’ve actually *done* the work of figuring it out—through prakriti reading, hetu analysis, tailoring herbs to that one stubborn thing that wouldn’t budge unless I got it right. Started off at the Govt Ayurveda Dispensary, Paingottoor (Mar-April 2024), juggling OPD and learning to keep things practical—what you *can* do with limited time and still follow classical line of treatment. Moved to Nellimattom next month, same OPD scene but somehow I felt more ready—like I knew what I was looking for during consultation. Then came the big shifts—District Ayurveda Hospital, Thodupuzha—Shalya Tantra for a month (May-June). Learning surgical concepts, wound management, minor procedures, all that opened up a whole diff layer of Ayurveda for me. After that was NARIP, Cheruthuruthy (June-July)—real-deal Panchakarma, hands-on, under ppl who *really* knew the texts and the techiques. I saw how deep detox can go when it’s done right. Then Shalakya Tantra (ENT + eye care, July-Aug)—very niche but suprisingly common complaints. By Sept I was at Sparsh Ayurvedic Clinic, Nellimattom, and that place blended modern diagnostics with our way of thinking. Helped me sharpen decisions fast, without losing authenticity of the classical tools. All that put together—it's shaped me into a doctor who listens more, assumes less, and keeps asking, "what’s *actually* causing this?” before reaching for a remedy. I want my patients to heal for real—not temporarily cope. That's the goal every single time.
