Menstrual cycle continues for long time - #855

For your daughter’s hormonal imbalance and endometrial hyperplasia, Ayurveda offers supportive treatments that can help manage her menstrual cycle, support hormone regulation, and address weight gain. Since she has ongoing bleeding and has been advised hormonal tablets, integrating Ayurvedic therapies with her gynecologist’s guidance could enhance overall balance and potentially reduce dependency on hormonal treatments over time. Ayurvedic Approach for Hormonal Balance and Endometrial Health Herbal Formulations: Ayurvedic herbs like Ashoka (Saraca asoca) and Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa) are traditionally used to support menstrual health and reduce excessive bleeding. Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) is another effective herb for hormonal regulation, reproductive health, and improving uterine function. Herbal formulations like Ashokarishta (a herbal tonic) may help balance hormones and reduce abnormal bleeding when taken under an Ayurvedic practitioner’s guidance. Dietary Adjustments: A balanced diet that avoids refined sugars, processed foods, and excess dairy can support hormonal balance. Include plenty of leafy greens, seasonal vegetables, whole grains, and legumes to support metabolism and avoid estrogen-rich or hormone-disrupting foods. Foods like flaxseeds and sesame seeds are beneficial, as they contain phytoestrogens that can naturally regulate hormones. Warm, cooked meals are also advised to aid digestion and reduce hormonal disruptions. Weight Management and Detoxification: Ayurvedic cleansing therapies, such as Virechana (purgation therapy), may help in detoxifying the body and improving metabolism. Gentle exercises, like yoga and brisk walking, can support weight management and balance hormones. Triphala churna, taken at bedtime, may aid in detoxifying the body and improving digestion, which is essential for hormonal health. Lifestyle and Stress Management: Hormonal imbalances can be exacerbated by stress, so incorporating practices like Pranayama (breathing exercises), meditation, and Abhyanga (self-massage with warm sesame oil) can be beneficial. These practices help reduce stress and improve circulation and hormonal regulation. Supplements and Supportive Care: Ayurvedic formulations such as Dashmoolarishta (a restorative tonic) may support general reproductive health and reduce pain or discomfort associated with menstruation. Integrating iron-rich foods or Ayurvedic iron supplements can also help, as prolonged bleeding can cause iron deficiency.

Endometrial hyperplasia with continual bleeding must be taken seriously, and it's good that you already consulted with a gynecologist - that's the right first step. The hormonal imbalance your daughter is experiencing, alongside the weight gain, points to a possible Kapha-Pitta imbalance, common in such conditions. In Ayurveda, apart from the modern treatment you're pursuing, we can explore options to support her overall health. Remember this isn't a substitute for medical care but an accompaniment. Let’s start with diet. Reducing Kapha-aggravating foods might be helpful. So, try cutting down on dairy, sweets, and fried or heavy items. Focus on light, warm, and easily digestible meals. Like soupy dishes with spices like cumin and coriander. Fresh veggies and more fibrous food can support her digestion. Avoid extreme cold foods and drinks - stick to room temperature or warm stuffs. Next? Lifestyle changes. Encourage her to maintain a regular routine, as irregularity can further disturb the doshas. Gentle exercises like brisk walking or certain yoga poses could aid balance, without stressing the body. Maybe have her try Surya Namaskar - it's rhythmic and helps balance energies. Stress can exacerbate hormonal issues too. Encourage her to practice calming activities like meditation or pranayama. Simple breathing exercises might do wonder. Especially something like anulom-vilom in a quiet space might be beneficial to help stabilize her nervous system. Her Agni, or digestive fire, is crucial to balance. You could try having her sip on warm water with a pinch of ginger and lemon in the morning. This can kindle her digestive fire gently without aggravating Pitta. Though herbal remedies are often mentioned, it’s critical not to introduce new elements that might counteract prescribed treatments by her doctor. Herbs like Ashoka or Shatavari are widely talked about, but please only consider these under certified ayurvedic practitioner's guidance. And do not stop whatever the gynecologist advised, unless there's a clear reason to do so. Balancing Ayurveda with allopathic treatment might open more holistic improvement for her condition. But any signs of increased symptoms or danger - please ensure prompt medical follow-up. Safety first, always!!
