You ever come across the misconception that iron-rich foods like jaggery and sesame should be avoided during periods? I'm curious to know if you've encountered this belief and what your thoughts are on it. From your personal experiences and understanding, do you believe it's true that these foods should be avoided during menstruation?

Hi there, I hope you are well. You can consume jaggery in moderation ( it's not really high in iron), and sesame can be consumed during a period. There's no reason to avoid it but practice moderation with jaggery consumption. Sesame is great for maintaining hormonal balance, and is given a great option for calcium :)

Huda is right. No need to avoid sesame seeds during periods. While jaggery does not correlate with periods, I’d say it’s generally advised to reduce food with a high glucose load at all times. Heavy glucose load leads to insulin spike that leads to insulin resistance which is the foundation of hormonal disorders like PCOS, and diabetes. Rather have ragi which is super rich in iron and if you do have a sweet tooth opt for options like stevia or monk fruit that don’t spike insulin as drastically. However, if you’d like to enjoy jaggery have it after a protein and fiber-rich meal to reduce the insulin spike!

What supplements are recommended for menopause?
You would generally need calcium and vitamin d supplements once you hit your 40s. As you grow older your calcium absorption decreases and it is very important to maintain certain calcium levels for your bone and muscle strength. Vitamin d is needed for better absorption of calcium as well as for good mood regulation. Apart from that most other supplements get prescribed based on deficiency.
Menopause means stopping of female hormones, especially Estrogen. Because it is necessary for your vagina as well as your overall health, you can take so many natural Medicines instead of taking just supplements. You may face vaginal dryness, mood swings/ emotional ups and downs and osteoporosis. Also hot flushes irritates most. Just supplements are not sufficient if these symptoms are irritating you. Then Take proper consultation with your doctor. Natural medicines are more useful in my opinion.

my periods are not regular after my delivery
Hi there, I hope you are well. -Not getting your period after delivery until a year is considered to be normal. - You can expect it to begin soon. - Hence, you needn't worry ,and take good care of yourself during this phase. - Avoid getting stressed, rather take time to do meditation and yoga as and when possible. - Eat a well balanced diet including fibre, good fats, as well as protein. - Drink enough water. - And add some movement to your daily routine. You can simply opt for a walk . Take care ✨

My periods are delayed by 8days and i checked i am pregnant but i dont want this baby so can anyone help me with MTP abortion details how much days it take to abort the baby?
Go to Govt authorised abortion centre and consult gynec. They will guide you about the process. Defending on age of fetus doctor can give tablets after confirmation of pregnancy using ultrasound scan. Once it is confirmed that your pregnancy is uterine pregnancy, doctor can take decision easily. If anyone have ectopic pregnancy that is Pregnancy in tubes, doctor need to do laproscopy to abort this pregnancy. So ultrasound scan is a must now a days. Kindly do consult a gynec for further management.

My husband' mother died last year . He has been depressed about it for so long. And now mother's day is coming,how can I help him to deal with it?
Anonymous17d
You can make him feel better by spending time with him such as showing his childhood photos or his mother's photo, do something that his mother always wanted to do or liked to do
Death of near and dear ones is really difficult to accept. Encourage him to recall the good time spent with his mother. Pamper him by cooking a dish his mother use to cook for him. Time has the power of healing. Don't worry he will be fine soon.

Hi, so my friend who saw blood yesterday but the periods didn't came. she at first thought it's her periods because she is about to have periods. is this a concern? her last time was 20 days late and it was longer than usual as well. What should she be doing?
Anonymous-8d
Unexpected bleeding, especially when it doesn't coincide with the expected menstrual cycle, can be a sign of a more serious issue, such as: Uterine fibroids Endometriosis.
nanc-8d
The fact that her last period was 20 days late and longer than usual suggests an irregularity that should be addressed.

Have recently read a crazy post that masturbating a lot can cause acne for women,is this true? XD
No, masturbation does not cause acne. Masturbation can cause hormonal changes, if you indulge in it badly. These changes are only tangentially related to acne development. It's more likely that if you seem to have less acne when you don't masturbate, it's just a coincidence because of the many changes that happen during puberty and adolescence. Instead of thinking like this, think about doing masturbation in moderation and let the sexual tension release. This keep your hormones tickling and can help maintain hormonal balance.
Hi! Hope you are doing well. As a therapist and intimacy coach, I can tell you that that’s absolutely false! Masturbation does not cause acne, that’s a myth. masturbation is actually beneficial as it helps improve sleep and reduce stress!

hi I have mrkh syndrome with no vaginal opening for an intercourse so my boyfriend who knew about it for four years got married secretly and told his wife that I wasn't a woman and since then I have been questioning my existence I want to know how do I handle it all I can't say anything to my parents coz they will feel hurt I don't have a place to cry it out or frnds who would understand im just so alone with all this
Hi there, I hope you are well. -I completely understand what you must be feeling right now. -But remember one thing, you aren't to be blamed. -You put your trust in someone that that person spoke behind your back, which is not your fault. - At least you can love and trust people, however just be little wary the next time you put your trust in anyone with respect to the condition you are suffering from. - Take time out, go for a walk, spend time with yourself, cook for yourself, exercise, practice yoga, and meditation, keep yourself busy in some activity or hobby, these will help you in healing. - Most importantly, accept yourself, and love yourself because no one else is going to do it for you :) - Give yourself some time, sooner or later you will be proud of yourself. - And, yes, it can be operated and treated. I know someone who had the same issue. - Talk to a gynecologist and seek proper guidance and help. Take care ❤️ stay strong! This shall pass, too.
Hi dear. I can understand what you might be going through. But relax yourself and take a deep breath. Understand one thing that this is your body and you are suppose to accept it and love it . You can't control others thoughts and behaviour..so just forget about it. As far as as your condition is considered,so it's a condition which is treatable and operable, so,if possible I would suggest you that please go and speak to some good gynaecologist and communicate to your parents as well. Problem comes with solution. take care

Are there any dietary supplements you recommend to support my menstrual health based on my individual needs?
Hey there! 🌸 Looking to boost your menstrual health? Consider adding these essentials to your routine: Iron for replenishing lost blood, Vitamin B6 to ease those pesky PMS symptoms, Magnesium for calming those cramps, Omega-3 fatty acids to soothe inflammation, and don't forget Calcium for bone health and mood stability. Your body will thank you for the extra support!
hina6d
There is no restriction for your diet during your menstrual cycle. Nor are there any foods that you necessarily should eat, except for foods high in iron. Because of the blood loss, there is also some iron loss w/menstruation. Therefore, foods high in iron content can help replace the iron stores that women need. These foods can include dark chocolate in small amounts, molasses, and then green leafy veggies such as spinach, beef, turkey, etc. You can google for a more comprehensive list. Otherwise, no special diet is required.

Is oral sex possible during periods?? My boyfriend wants to try it out
If you both are comfortable, then go for it! However, consider going for a dental dam as infection during menstruation is high! You can consider using a menstrual cup or a tampon to avoid leakage. Infact, for a lot of people, arousal during menstruation is high and period blood acts like a natural lubricant!
Anonymous5d
Just use oral dams for protection because the risk of developing infections is very high during menstruation 🩸

Ayurveda for women community profile picture
🗓 Menstrual Health

At its core, the connection between Ayurveda and Women health is rooted in the balance and harmony of the female body. The ancient Indian practice of Ayurveda recognizes that each woman has unique needs, and through mindful practices such as yoga, diet and lifestyle, it seeks to empower women to embrace their natural cycles.Ayurveda works to achieve balance by addressing the three doshas, or subtle energies that govern our bodies. These doshas are known as vata, pitta and kapha. Each dosha is associated with the elements of wind, fire, and water respectively and serve to regulate the physical body and the mind. When our doshas are in balance, we are healthy, vibrant and radiating peace.At a deeper level, Ayurveda looks at the physiological changes that happen in the body during our menstrual cycle. On a vata dosha day, for example, a woman may experience feelings of restlessness or anxiety. On a pitta day, she may have an increased appetite or feel irritable. And on a kapha day, she may be proneto fatigue or have difficulty concentrating. By acknowledging these nuances and adjusting her diet and lifestyle accordingly, a woman can learn to identify which foods will best nourish and restore her balance during the different phases of her cycle. Ayurveda Priests or holistic health practitioners are also available to guide women in developing a meaningful relationship with their menstrual cycle. Through such practices as yoga, meditation, massage, and breathwork, these professionals help women understand not only their body’s response to their monthly fluctuations, but also how to intuitively respond to them. Ultimately, Ayurveda provides a safe, holistic space for women to honour and celebrate their cycle as an important part of their emotional and physical wellbeing. By becoming more mindful and aware of the subtle changes that occur each month from one dosha to another, women are able to learn how to better nourish and care for their bodies .more
