Doctors’ responses

It's good to hear that your adenomyosis and hypothyroidism are under control with the help of Kachnar Guggulu and Mahamanjisthadi, but the vaginal burning and irregular spotting indicate underlying imbalances, likely related to aggravated Pitta and Vata in the reproductive system. For the burning sensation, I recommend Chandanasava or Praval Pishti to cool and soothe the internal heat, as these are particularly helpful in managing localized Pitta-related inflammation. Yashtimadhu (licorice) powder, mixed with a small amount of honey or taken as a tea, may also be beneficial, as it has cooling and demulcent properties. Additionally, Triphala vaginal wash (1 tsp Triphala powder boiled in water and cooled) can help reduce burning and maintain a balanced vaginal environment. For spotting and cycle regulation, Ashokarishta is commonly used to support menstrual health and reduce irregular bleeding. Staying hydrated and avoiding spicy, sour, and acidic foods is crucial to manage Pitta. Please consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for precise dosage and to monitor your progress, as they can adjust the treatment based on your individual response.

The sensation you're experience of burning in the vaginal area can be really uncomfortable. Since you’ve already tried allopathic treatments with no relief, it seems we should take a deeper look into this from an Ayurvedic perspective. With your history of adenomyosis and hypothyroidsim, which are thankfully stabalized right now, it's possible that there could be an imbalance in your doshas. Often, vata and pitta can be culprits for vaginal irritation or burning sensations. For direct relief, consider making a decoction with Triphala. You can try using it as a wash: boil some of it in water, let it cool, and use that to rinse the area once or twice a day. Remember to strain it well so that no particles are left. This might be soothing and also supports the natural flora. Diet-wise, focusing on foods that pacify pitta, like cool, fresh fruits and vegetables or simply avoiding spicy and sour foods will help. Hydration is crucial too, helping to flush out any irritants. Warm, not hot, water with a small pinch of coriander can be sipped throughout the day to keep the body cooled. Spotting 10 days before your periods could be hormonal too, tied to your cycles of hypothyroidism. Shatavari is a great herb when it comes to regularizing menstrual cycles, and it's known for its balancing effect. You might want to add that to your regimen, just make sure to check with an ayurvedic practitioner before adding herbs your taking. It's also important to give attention to stress and sleep patterns since both can wreak havoc on the body. A relaxed mind often translates to a calmer body. Try meditating or yoga to keep things balanced. So, I highly recommend that you consult with an ayurvedic doctor for personalized guidance and to rule out other possibilities. Always better to be cautious and safe, right? Remember, what works wonders for one person might not be ideal for another.
