Post-abortion Cycle problems

[Guest guest]

I was referred to this group by one of my friends and hope i will get some

advice on my problems

 

I am a 27 yr old lady and I underwent an abortion almost one and half year ago.

Since then I get a discharge from my breast and the blood discharge during

periods has also reduced(otherwise periods are regular).Some time ago I

consulted a gynaec and got all hormone related tests

done(TSH,Prolactin,Urine,Blood etc)and reports are OK.So my gynaec gave some

general medicines and did not put me on hormones. But I dont want to go for

allopathy medicines. Was browsing through net and learnt that shatavari and

fenugreek can be helpuful in such problems.

I request the learned members to advice if I can take these herbs for my

condition and if yes where can i buy them, which company's product should I use.

 

I have a pitta dosha and very often have itching and develop rashes on skin(this

happens everyday)

 

Dr Bhate, Dr Sachin, Mrudulaji and other members, please advise.

 

Thanks and regards

It would benefit you, to see if you can find an Ayurveda Specialist in your

area, because Ayurveda is it’s most affective with follow up visits… In the

mean time stay a way from Fenugreek, Fenugreek will cause more breast milk…

On the other hand Shatavari would be a very good for you, be careful though,

it can make you more fertile; assuming nothing but the fetus was removed

during the abortion… You can find it at

and God bless you… Noel

Kanchan,

 

Author generalizes your querry to cover the subject of abortion too.

 

The abortion has the tendency to repeat itself, and prevent further pregnancies

as fertility force gets depressed. Doctors are accustomed to think that emotions

are stored only in mind and heart, but intelligence is spread all over the body.

Glands are portions of nervous system and easily become depressed by trauma.

 

Author recollects a case from Barsi, Maharashtra, where three

miscarriage/abortions within three years after marriage happened, before age 21.

Allopathic reports normal but periods irregular, scanty, painful. Despite

changing doctors, medicines, no feeling of well being. After almost 9 months

treatment which included liver detoxes, marma massage and medicines, the

conception occurred and healthy pregnancy was the result. Good news is due by

May beginning.

 

The dosha theory of ayurveda works in such cases. Vata and Pitta were unbalanced

in above case. When a person thinks, his thoughts get linked to emotions and

emotions affect endocrine glands, they start underfunctioning. Hormone reports

cant detect this, but marma check on patient reveals this. Just as man has

adequate semen, but sperm count or quality is poor. The activity and health of

sperms/ovum is linked to our bio-energy field, which has relation to what

acharyas call " Ojas " . Depending on ojas/energy field, normality of cycles, ovum,

sperms gets determined. The person feels fatigued after days work, would like to

relax before the bedtime. If he is given herbs to boost fertility, his fatigue

disappears. The effect on glands is evident. Let us not get diverted to theory

which patient neither understand due to jargon, nor is interested to know. The

effect of patients thoughts, emotional state on endocrine glands, periods,

ovulation etc has been discussed by this author in number of posts in archives,

and conception after 3-4 menopausal years is a case to illustrate how strong is

the mind body connection; this connection is entirely missed in modern science,

which wants to understand everything in terms of chemicals. After child birth

and abortion/miscarriage, it takes time for glands to get balanced. The

inadequacy of progesterone causes miscarriage, and reduced periods, breast

discharge/stiffness/pain etc are due to hormonal inadequacy/imbalance. So

hormonal imbalnce can be a simple statement of your condition, even though

hormone numbers may be right as per modern science.

 

When endocrine secretions mix in the blood, the blood circulation, heart beats,

breathing, everything changes. Sudden fear boosts heart beats, similarly

depression reduces them. Similarly the food with different tastes affects our

nervous system. A nursing mother sometimes releases small amount of milk, if she

imagines baby crying. The memory of loss of baby also causes similar discharge.

Chronic stress, spicy food boosts Vata pitta unbalance. Lack of sunlight

exposure, oily food, accumulation of ama as a result of poor metabolism,

antibiosis, cadidiasis causes slowing down of perids or scanty periods. Reducing

wheat, maida, bakery, fermented foods, refined floor items helps.

 

As long as doshas do not get balanced, even if conception occurs, the pregnancy

cant hold for full period. Vata and pitta are dominant forces for abortion.

Ayurveda stastes: " Soumanasyajanan Garbhadharnanam " In order that pregnancy

stays healthy, mind also must be cool and healthy. After abortion, unbalance

tend to continue to dominate. The acharyas decided a protocol lasting 42 days

after childbirth so that system returns to normal balance. In modern times,

following that protocol has become difficult.

 

When preganacy is lost by abortion, the treatment for sperms also becomes

necessary. Ayurveda belives that if sperms are defective as a result of doshas

(Veeryadushti) the pregnancy does not hold, even if uterus is healthy. In the

Barsi case described in second paragraph, two additional causes were tobacco

chewing habit of the husband and both husband and wife had nadi-dosha defined by

Indian vedic astrology. Aadya nadi leads to constitution dominated by pitta

unbalance. When both have same nadi, continuation of pregnancy becomes a

challenge. Husband stopped tobacco fully after persuation. That is Ayurvedic

approach!!

 

Ayurveda offers many medicines for healthy sperms, uterus, hormonal balance and

successful pregnancy. Damage to uterus as a result of viral fever (lasting more

than 10 days) in pre-puberty days can be diagnosed and treated in ayurveda,

while allopathy does not even acknowledges such a condition. Most of these

medicines are taken with Indian cow milk or made as Ghrutam in Indian cow ghee

Shatawari ghrutam, Phal ghrutam are helpful to restore tone of the uterus,

hormonal balance, boosting fertility. Phal ghrut helps both husband and wife.

But it is better taken under supervision, as dose, the length of time to be

taken is best decided by expert Vaidya. To illustrate, phal ghrut or shatawari

ghrut enhances its action if taken mixed in warm Indian cow milk. Do not take

any food for another 90 minutes.

 

Liver is the engine which drives the periods. Check:

ayurveda/message/9158

Liver also regulates thyroid function, hence has very important role to play in

building up obesity. This too has been discussed in archives at length. Thus

connection between limping periods and Truncal obesity/fatty liver becomes

obvious.

 

On the other hand, a recent study published in the journal Gastroenterology has

shown that of all types of prescription drugs, antibiotics are the ones most

likely to cause liver damage. Diabetics are more likely to develop liver damage

than people with a normal blood sugar level.

 

Besides antibiotics, a number of other medications also have the potential to

cause liver inflammation; these include:

· Anticonvulsants, such as drugs used to treat epilepsy.

· Oral antifungal medication.

· Cholesterol lowering drugs called statins.

· Acetaminophen (paracetamol).

· Isotretinoin (Accutane or Roaccutane) used to treat severe acne.

 

Taking one of these medications places us at increased risk of liver injury;

however taking two or more of these medications at the same time increases the

risk substantially.

 

While endocrine gland disturbances do not register in modern science hormone

tests, vaidyas are taught to detect these by simple methods using skin

blemishes, skin tags, hirsuitism, marma checks, astrological charts. But patient

must come to vaidya for simple checkup.

 

Author has seen that the liver detoxification protocol restores liver function

rapidly and periods improve by way of reduced pre-menstrual symptoms, reduced

pains during the periods, improved quantity, color, consistency. However, these

treatments are taken under supervision. When liver under-function is not a

problem, medicines need to be decided after physical check up rather than email

consultation. If due to distance and infeasibility of meeting vaidya, the email

consultation route requires several mid-course correction, but situation here is

much better if patient has seen vaidya personally at least once.

 

Rashes and itching indicate liver problem or candidiasis as a result of

food/antibiosis, simple tests are given at the following links:

Mild pelvic pains few days before cycle starts, and also before ovulation are

caused by candidiasis.
