Amenorrhoea is the absence of a menstrual period in a woman of reproductive age. This absence of a monthly period can be considered normal before puberty and after menopause, as well as during pregnancy and lactation. Other causes can be extreme weight loss caused by serious illness, eating disorders, excessive exercising or stress. Primary amenorrhea is the term used to describe the absence of a period in a young woman who hasn’t started menstruating by age 16.
The main functions of the hormones include development and growth, metabolism of food, sexual function and reproductive growth and health. Additionally they are responsible for cognitive function and mood as well as maintenance of body temperature and thirst. Hormones are secreted by the endocrine glands of the body. The glands do not have ducts, so the hormones are secreted directly into the bloodstream instead of going through the duct method. Some of the most important endocrine glands in the body include the pituitary gland, pineal gland, thymus, thyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas, testes and ovaries. These organs secrete hormones in extremely small amounts and only a very small amount is needed to cause major changes in the body.
Menopause is the natural cessation of a woman’s monthly menstrual cycle. It usually occurs between 45-55 years of age. At menopause, a woman’s ovaries stop producing eggs and her fertility hormones decrease. Ayurveda views menopause not as a disease but as a transition period. It is a very important time in a woman’s life where she has an opportunity to prioritise care for her health and wellbeing in all aspects – physically, mentally, emotionally, sexually, and spiritually.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a female endocrine disorder occurring during the reproductive age and affecting approximately 5-12% of the female population. It is commonly accompanied by obesity and menstrual irregularity, and can lead to infertility. It is called a syndrome because it has complex manifestations in many organs. PCOS should be treated as early as possible. Early diagnosis and immediate treatment helps to avoid complication and chronicity. Late diagnosis may lead to lasting complications.
According to Ayurveda, pregnancy and delivery can be a rejuvenating experience and a positive highlight of a women’s life. Among the branches of ayurvedic science, there is a separate department called Strirog-Prasuti Tantra (Gynaecology and Obstetrics) devoted to women and children’s health, including pregnancy care. Conception is the union of male and female seeds that creates an embryo. Ayurvedic science compares human conception to the germination and sprouting of plant seeds which eventually turn into a seedling that grows. High importance is given to the quality of seeds. The condition of the mother’s uterus, like the earth where the seed grows, also plays an important role in the growth and development of a healthy baby.
Pregnant women can use the principles of Ayurveda to care for themselves during pregnancy, and support their recovery period after their baby is born. Ayurvedic recommendations focus on diet, behaviour, activities, herbs and therapies.
