What to do for my wife who has abnormal bleeding after her period for 15 days? - #55683

Continuous bleeding for 15 days after periods is not considered normal and should not be ignored. In Ayurveda, this condition is often related to aggravated Pitta dosha and weakness of the uterine system. Proper evaluation by a gynecologist is advised to rule out hormonal imbalance, fibroids, anemia, or infection. Meanwhile, she can follow these supportive Ayurvedic measures: Take a cooling and light diet: pomegranate, coconut water, soaked raisins, rice gruel, and buttermilk. Avoid spicy, oily, fried foods, excess tea/coffee, and late nights. Complete rest and stress reduction are important. Helpful Ayurvedic medicine Lodhraasav- – supports uterine health and help control abnormal bleeding. Praval Pishti or Mukta Pishti – helps pacify excess Pitta and weakness. Shatavari – nourishes and strengthens the female reproductive system.

​Here is a structured Ayurvedic management plan, along with necessary medical precautions. ​1. Immediate Hemostatic Oral Medications (Shamana Chikitsa) ​To control the prolonged bleeding, formulations with Kashaya (astringent), Tikta (bitter), and Sheeta (cooling) properties are highly effective: ​Pushyanuga Churna: This is one of the premier classical formulations for Asrugdara.
​Dosage: 3 grams (approx. half a teaspoon) twice a day. ​Anupana (Vehicle): It must ideally be taken with Tandulodaka (rice-washed water) mixed with a teaspoon of honey. Rice-washed water is exceptionally Sheeta (cooling) and enhances the hemostatic action of the herb.
​Ashokarishta: A well-known uterine tonic made from the bark of the Ashoka tree (Saraca asoca), which balances Pitta and tones the endometrium.
​Dosage: 15 to 20 ml with an equal quantity of lukewarm water, twice daily, after meals. ​Bola Parpati: A classical herbo-mineral preparation specifically indicated in cases of acute, prolonged uterine bleeding. ​Dosage: 125 to 250 mg twice a day, mixed with honey or a small spoonful of clarified butter (Ghee). ​3. Crucial Dietary & Lifestyle Modifications (Pathya-Apathya) ​Because Pitta is the primary culprit behind the increased volume and duration of bleeding, the diet must be strictly cooling and stabilizing. ​What to Favor (Pathya): ​Ghee: Incorporating a spoonful of pure cow’s ghee in meals helps pacify both Vata and Pitta, providing stability to the uterine tissue. ​Cooling liquids: Fresh coconut water, barley water (Yava text), and milk. ​Grains & Vegetables: Old rice, mung dal, bottle gourd (Lauki), ridge gourd (Torai), and pomegranate. ​Complete Rest: Total physical and mental rest is essential. Physical exertion further aggravates Apana Vayu and increases bleeding. ​What to Avoid Completely (Apathya): ​Pitta-aggravating foods: Strictly avoid spicy, deeply fried, highly salty, and sour foods (like pickles, curd, and vinegar). ​Warm-potency herbs/spices: Avoid garlic, ginger, asafoetida (Hing), mustard seeds, and excessive red chili. ​Stimulants: Stop the intake of tea and coffee entirely, as they increase internal heat and vascular flow.
