Ayurvedic medicine offers an individualised understanding of reproductive life stages, hormonal rhythms, and chronic gynaecological imbalances.
Irregular cycles, missed periods, premenstrual symptoms and other changes in menstrual rhythm should first be understood in context before an Ayurvedic strategy is adapted.
Menstrual pain or dysmenorrhoea is assessed according to intensity, location, relationship with the menstrual cycle, bleeding pattern and associated digestive or pelvic symptoms.
Ayurvedic support for endometriosis is integrated alongside gynaecological follow-up and may consider pelvic pain, menstrual symptoms, digestion, energy levels and the individual constitutional pattern.
In polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), assessment may focus on menstrual regularity, ovulation, metabolic health, nutrition and associated hormonal manifestations.
Uterine fibroids and polyps require appropriate gynaecological evaluation. Ayurvedic care may be used as a complementary approach addressing the individual terrain, menstrual cycle and associated symptoms.
Hot flushes, disturbed sleep, fatigue, mood changes, dryness and metabolic changes may be approached individually during the transition through perimenopause and menopause.
In Ayurveda, each woman is assessed according to her individual terrain. The same biomedical diagnosis may correspond to different Ayurvedic patterns, so recommendations are not determined by the disease name alone.
An Ayurvedic assessment may include Prakriti (individual constitution), Vikriti (current imbalance), Vata, Pitta and Kapha (functional Ayurvedic principles), Agni (digestive and metabolic capacity) and Apana Vata (the downward-moving function of Vata associated with the pelvic region and menstrual functions). Menstrual history, digestion, bowel function, sleep, nutrition, stress and previous medical history are also considered.
Your first consultation provides time for an in-depth discussion and Ayurvedic assessment. The aim is to understand your health history, current concerns, your individual constitution and the factors that may be influencing your menstrual and overall health.
A holistic approach to understand the root of imbalance and support your long-term well-being.
Individual care for every stage of your life.
A complementary approach
Ayurvedic care can be integrated alongside conventional gynaecological assessment and treatment. Existing diagnoses, laboratory results, ultrasound findings and prescribed treatments are considered when relevant to the Ayurvedic assessment.
We encourage you to continue your recommended medical and gynaecological care. Any new, severe, persistent or unexplained symptoms should be medically assessed when appropriate.
