Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Though she is just 29, her hormone levels appear reducing and she is perhaps progressing towards peri-menopause; check up file perimeno.rtf in folder 'articles' in froup files. The file name will come on screen after you click on http://health.ayurvedaarticles/ and then click on file name 'perimeno.rtf' Five days before period is the phase where both important hormones are very low. Excess body temperature is what is termed 'hot flashes'. She may have several other symptoms too. Ayurveda has excellent means to balance hormones in such a phase. It is no surprise for this author that women in age less than 30 are experiencing 'peri-menopause symptoms. Few Indian women have had even apparent menopause before this age. We are just suffering for adopting western materialism based culture.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 The word is not menopause in this age group, but amenorrhea, which means no menses. There is either primary amenorrhea, where the menses just do not occur, or secondary amenorrhea, where they did occur for a while and then stopped. The answer in both cases is "hormonal". But that may be ovarian secreted hormones, or pituitary secreted ones. For that testing, one should see a good Endocrinologist, to see signs , symptoms and appropriate testing to determine / treat appropriate hormones. Body odor is not amenorrhea or menopause. It may still be either from other medications taken unknowingly or hormonal. Most young "modern" women, that do take Magnesium, Selenium and such other elements, have a strange odor in their urine, and perhaps from their body. Stopping such medications will get rid off this body smell. Borderline Uremia, from failing kidneys, or a build up of urea in the body from whichever cause, also has its typical odor, and so does borderline hepatic (liver) disease. Again adequate hydration, nutrition and treatment of kidney or liver disease is recommended. As far as Hormonal problems, this may be from Pituitary based hormones, which control both body temperature and sweat secretion. This woman has increased body temperature, which may be from Thyroid, or Adrenal over secretion, and perhaps from MSH, Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone. Body odor may also be because of inadequate secretion from the sweat glands, a rare Pancreatic disorder.A good Endocrinological testing is recommended. ayurveda wrote: There are 4 messages in this issue.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 When patient is remote, with no possibility of checking his state by standard ways ayurveda recommends, an ayurvedist has to go mainly by symptoms and other data provided. He has no luxury to order various tests of modern science, the evidence based approach. Whereas modern science practitioner has to worry all the time about protecting himself from lawsuits, ayurvedist, with his "do no harm" (to health or vallet) philosophy always thinks of protecting his patient first. But he can think in the same way as ancients would have thought. The lead is provided here in the data provided that the problem is correlated to M/cycle and not due to uremia or other medication. Patients are considered wise enough to correlate abnormal outcomes with any medication they are taking. And an ayurvedist gets guided by his previous experience wherein he knows that disturbances in M/cycles, (foul smelling scanty/excess discharges, clots etc) lead to foul odours. Most of the time, thought ayurvedist has in mind is which possible herb, lifestyle change, food change will eliminate the root cause of the disease, rather than how to prove his diagnosis is correct. Once a guess is made that Hormones are out-of-whack by the Vaidya, he knows which approach to use under what circumstances. And such situations are generally not handled remotely. Already a Vaidya is handling the situation; the author provided just a lead to check along theory of ayurveda which treats M/cycle problems to another ayurvedist. Lack of pulse diagnosis brings such situations. A modern science practitioner should not complicate the situation by tackling all situations under which a typical symptom may appear and then reductionist approach of carrying out several tests repeatedly (at different times in a M/cycle) to know which hormone needs to be supplimented! Neither body accepts this synthetic strategy as shown by the long term outcomes of HRT. After long term medication of B/C pills under menorrhagea, hysterectomy has been the only answer available in modern science, when hormon imbalance exists, since already so many side problems are created, a patient is ready for surgical guillotine! It is good that ayurveda does not have separate practitioner for each branch defined by modern science. And even if modern science can pinpoint exact problem, neither the cause nor "exact" cure is known in most disorders! Often the disgnoasis is "such and such gland is causing excess/less secretion of xx hormone" after spending large sum of money. Does it help the patient? Has anybody reversed diabetes by use of synthetic or animal-origin Insulin? The story of blind men trying to assess the shape of the elephant is what applies to all modern diagnostics. Many lost their good organs due to false positive tests!
