All Symptoms Of Pcos But Not Evident In Scan

amunique · Jul 1, 2017

Ilites,
I have all the symptoms of pcos(earlier for the past few years the scan reports showed multiple cysts)now when i again took a scan recently(noe they did inside scan)and revealed only endometrium thickness of 9.5mm.not cysts.
i went to consult doctor because i am having almost all symptoms of pcos -oily skin,weight gain constantly and scanty periods.
she suggested ginette 35 and metformin 500mg.
yet after taking these medicines my periods are very very scanty. i can say just spotting. and i am worried
and scared,is this normal?
i am seperated and i am not trying for pregnancy either but just went for hope of getting periods flow and to check my pcos stage.
please suggest.

Hi,
I am an ayurvedic physician from Kerala. As per what you have mentioned,I understand that you have hormonal issues and scanty menstrual flow. Anyhow I need to get more details on it such as from how long you are experiencing this and you have mentioned that you are gaining weight. I need a clarity on all these along with things like how is your bowel movement, what about appetite? How about your daily diet? If you are a person who doesnot exercise or even do brisk walking, please start with any one. Try including foods like dates, raisins, pomegranate, sesame seeds in different forms. Include fibrous diet, fruits and green leafy vegetables. Avoid intake of cabbage, cauliflower, canned foods, chocolate, mayonnaise, bakery items,foods containing maida. Reduce intake of pulses, tubers like potato and tapioca as it may lead to production of more gas in stomach and you may have a bulged abdomen. There are kashaayams(decoctions), tablets and other medicines in ayurveda to solve your problem. If you are interested in taking them please let me know. Shall provide you with details if you give me exact information of your issue.

Depending on the information what you have provided I understand that you are not a big eater. But still there has to be clarity in foods that you take a day starting from breakfast.

Cut short on carbohydrates, which means that you have to avoid rice items and fried items. Reduce intake of ghee. Add more fruits and vegetables in your diet. Eat them as salads. Drink in the form of juices too without adding sugar. Even if you don't eat / skip a meal, then also it will lead to the production of gas. Keep your breakfast by 8 a.m, lunch 2 p.m and dinner 8 p.m. Follow diet as told earlier too.

Start with exercise 10/15 minutes daily and increase the time by next week.. Reduce intake of dal like sambar dal, urad dal,. Whereas moong dal is good.

Medicines that can be taken are:

1.Sukumaram kashaayam- 15ml+ 45ml warm water , twice daily , half an hour before food.
2. Rajapravartini vati 2-0-2, After food
3.Asokarishtam + Kumaryasavam- 30ml, twice daily, after food.

Take for a month, if bleeding starts, stop rajapravartini vati .Continue the rest. After 2 weeks or one month need a follow up, only after which what can be changed could be decided according to the condition. Meanwhile send me the diet chart on one particular day of your schedule. So that i can advice on what all should be avoided and what has to be added.

Thank you.
