Well I have my last period on February 28th I now I am 8 days late meaning 38 days My name is Faiza I am from London

Doctors' responses

Firstly confirm plz are u married or unmarried? If Last period was February 28, now 8 days late. Possible causes include pregnancy, stress, or hormonal changes. Advising you a home pregnancy test and repeat in a few days if negative. If period doesn’t start, then start with – –Rx: 1)Rajapravartini Vati – 1 tab BD after food × 5 days 2) Kumaryasavam – 15 ml + equal water BD after food 3) Trifla gutika– 1 at night with warm water
—Advice: Warm water intake Avoid cold, heavy, processed foods Gentle exercise / yoga —Review: After 7 days or after onset of menses

Well I am 45 year old I am single women I avoid having to much outside food I have more fruit and vegetables in my diet possibly I sometimes get sugar caving like out work around the house I drink lot of water take food from home sometimes or I buy outside like sandwiches pasta

In that case at this age , it can be premenopausal symptoms, then avoid the following medicines for now. If u feel any pain or any other symptoms then tell me once to rule out pathology

Hello Faiza. At 45 years old, an 8-day delay is a very normal, classic sign that you are entering the perimenopausal transition phase. In Ayurveda, as you approach menopause, your body naturally shifts into a Vata (air/space) dominant phase. Vata is dry and irregular by nature, which is exactly why your cycles are stretching out to 38 days and becoming delayed. Your sugar cravings are also your body’s natural response attempting to ground this sudden Vata fluctuation. ✓Ayurvedic Prescription Instead of aggressive medicines to force a bleed, you need gentle, warming tonics that support this natural hormonal transition and pacify the Vata dosha. 1. Sukumaram Kashayam Dosage: 15 ml mixed with 15 ml of warm water. Time: Twice daily, 30 minutes before meals (empty stomach). Action: This is the ultimate formulation for women’s reproductive health during perimenopause. It deeply nourishes the uterus, clears Vata blockages in the lower abdomen and gently regulates the cycle without causing heavy bleeding. 2. Kumaryasava Dosage: 15 ml mixed with 15 ml of warm water. Time: Twice daily, 15 minutes after meals. Action: A fermented Aloe Vera tonic that naturally balances your shifting hormones, improves digestion, and helps safely induce the delayed menstrual flow. ✓Crucial Dietary Rules Stop Cold Foods: You must temporarily stop eating cold store-bought sandwiches and pasta. Cold, dry foods severely aggravate Vata, constrict your blood vessels, and delay the period further. Switch strictly to warm, freshly cooked, and lightly spiced meals (like warm soups, stews, or cooked vegetables). ✓To satisfy your sugar cravings in a medicinal way, eat a small piece of dark Jaggery mixed with 1 teaspoon of Black Sesame seeds every morning. This creates a natural, mild heat in the body that actively encourages the period to start. Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma

Hello, Given your situation- very regular cycles, now ~8 days late, negative test, age over 40 - this is most likely a hormonal shift, often linked to perimenopausal rather than pregnancy What’s happening -Late periods= vata imbalance (irregularity) + possible apana vata disturbance (downward flow of menstruation) QUICK TIPS 1) warmth + routine (very important) -sleep on time, eat on time -avoid cold foods/drinks -keep body warm especially lower abdomen 2) Simple home remedies -Ginger tea (fresh ginger boiled in water)-> 1-2 cups daily -Ajwain water-> helps stimulate flow -Sesame seeds-> 1 tsp daily supports hormones 3) Gentle abdominal oil massage -use warm sesame oil -massage lower belly before bath-> improves circulation 4) Stress + nervous system calm -Even if you feel no changes , body may still sense subtle stress -try light yoga or walking Important -Repeat pregnancy test in 3-5 days just to be sure This doesn’t look alarming- very common around 40+. Ayurveda focuses on restoring rhythm, warmth, and flow Do follow Hope this might be helpful Thank you

As you are over 40 years and you are experienceing delete period with negative pregnancy test and also you having regular cycles This condition is pointing towards the vata Pitta imbalance And also signal in the transition towards Menopause or temporary hormonal fluctuation 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 1) Sukumaran kwath- 15 ml with 45 ml lukewarm water twice daily 30 minutes before food 2) kumaryasavam- 20 ml with equal quantity of water twice daily after food 3) raja pravartini vati - 2 tab twice daily With warm water 4) sukumar ghritam- one teaspoon early morning on empty stomach 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 Consume freshly cooked, warm meals. Avoid cold salads, ice-cold drinks, or dry, processed snacks. Incorporate sesame seeds (Til), jaggery (Gur), and papaya into the diet. Use ginger, cumin, fenugreek, and fennel in cooking to aid digestion and movement of Vata. Drink warm water throughout the day. Avoid caffeine and carbonated drinks which can further aggravate Vata
