You have face yourself struggling with PCOS and the temptation of desserts? Living with PCOS, which doesn't have a definitive medical cure, often prompts us to focus on lifestyle changes like sleep, exercise, and healthy eating habits. But one common question that arises is how to manage dessert cravings or how much dessert is okay to indulge in. I'm curious about your personal journey and strategies for balancing PCOS management with enjoying desserts.

Hi there, I hope you are well. Here are a few ways in which you can keep your cravings to minimum. 1) Understand that cravings are natural and it may happen during a certain time period in the month. 2) Cater to your cravings once a while, say once a week or once in 10 days. A small piece of cake, a cupcake, a small cup of mousse is okay to consume once a while. 3) Write down when you feel that you are having more cravings, are you hungry or you are eating emotionally. 4) Check for nutritional deficiencies as well. 5) Try and divert your mind if you feel you are reaching out for desserts pretty often.

Hey! I completely understand the dessert cravings. They could be because of micronutrient deficiencies or insulin resistance. In any case lifestyle changes and nutritional interventions are definitely required. Until then I recommend making your own desserts. For example, chia pudding, protein muffins, dates stuffed with nut butter, dark chocolate, etc. This will help you manage the cravings without overindulging in them. Hope it helps. I am a nutritionist with a masters in nutrition and dietetics, if you have any further questions you can definitely connect with me.

I am getting rashes from pads. What can I do to stop them?
If you have noticed rashes with one pad brand, it maybe helpful to try another. Another reason could also be using the pad for extended periods of time, which makes you more prone to rashes. Alternatives can include period panties or cloth pads which can help prevent rashes and are also eco-friendly as they are reusable. During your periods opt for loose cotton underwear and change it twice a day to limit sweat and rashes. If this doesn't subside with these simple changes, check in with a doctor to understand a possible underlying cause.
hina3d
Keep the affected area clean and dry, you can also apply a soothing cream or ointment that you can purchase over the counter. Ensure you're changing pads frequently to help prevent sanitary pad rash.

My boyfriend wants to have sex with me but I am on my periods. Can we do it??
In ancient times, it was said that a couple should not have sex during periods when woman is on her period. But From a modern medical point of view, sexual intercourse during menstruation is normal and not perversion. But it can be associated, although remotely, with undesirable pregnancy, the development of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and possible endometriosis. To avoid pregnancy/infection one can use condom while doing it. But regularly indulging in period sex can be cause of retrograde menstruation and it can carry fresh pieces of endometrium which can get implantated outside uterus like on ovaries, uterine ligaments or even rectum. This is endometriosis. So take this into consideration.
Yes you can absolutely do it! Infact, periods can make sex more pleasureable too as period blood is a natural lubricant! Just make sure you are being safe: using protection if you are not planning a pregnancy and to remain safe from STIs as well. Proper communication and consent are important!

#PeriodTalk We all know from common knowledge that an ideal period lasts between 3-5 days. However, for some women periods can last for 7 days throughout their lives. This doesn't indicate that something is wrong. The ideal period length is the average you have for each period. A normal period day would be using 3-5 pads, or changing out your cup 3-4 times a day. More on the first couple of days when periods are usually heavier. If you have to use more than 5-7 pads during all days of your period and feel increasing fatigue it would be ideal to get it checked to ensure there is no cause for heavy bleeding and you don't have anemia as a result.

whats good to eat that's healthy with painful periods
Hey there,it’s hoot to have pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds for painless periods also good amount of fibre and proteins are important Let me know more specific conditions of yours for precise guidance
Aim for lighter meals. A full and bloated stomach can worsen cramps. Drink plenty of water. Veggies, fruits, some yogurt can all help. Avoid oily food and processed food.

Hi, I'm Anjali. Can stress exacerbate hormonal imbalances and menstrual irregularities? @Drkarishma
docmfrank-8d
It definitely can! Which is why managing your stress is as important as a healthy diet and regular exercise. Stress leads to a constant state of inflammation. This dysregulates hormones release, reduces quality of hormones, affects the environment around your eggs, and even ultimately affects ovulation and menstrual cycles. For cycles you've had more stress, you are more likely to experience delays in your cycles.
Yes, Stress leads to many difficulties in our body Shagun K Singh Spiritual Life Coach Manifesting Miracles

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
