Is Ayurveda or allopathy safe in treating fibroids?

Hi doctor,

I am a 37 year old female married three days back. Mostly, I have a regular 27 day period cycle. But recently last month I had a urine infection and got my periods twice. I was under antibiotics for 10 days. During the investigation, we found three intramural fibroids of size 0.5" × 0.7" anterior, 0.5" × 0.2" posterior, and 0.4" × 0.2" cm posterior walls. My current month periods started 30 days later than my last periods. I have mild pain in the right mid-lower abdomen region for the last two months. A follicle was in the right ovary at the time of the pelvis scan. I get abdominal cramps on the first day of my periods since my puberty. Other reports turned out to be normal. I am looking forward to conceiving, will this fibroid cause any problems? Will allopathic treatment stop my regular periods and lead to menopause? My question to you is how long should I have to take medicines in Ayurveda for dissolving my fibroids? Will it stop my periods or is it safe? And after treatment will I be able to conceive?

Thanks.

Are there any natural remedies for dandruff problems, hair fall, and breakage?

Hello doctor,

I have a dandruff issue. Scaly dandruff is seen at the back of my head near the neck. Due to dandruff, I always have small bumpy pimples on my forehead and face. Now I also face hair fall and breakage of hair. My hair is curly, and my face skin is oily and sensitive. I wash my hair every alternate day, and I wash off whatever oil I apply with shampoo, as leaving oil on my hair causes me a sinus headache. I had been using two bottles of ayurvedic oil twice a week. Though it reduced my hair fall, I did not see a change in the dandruff issue. Instead, it caused more and more small pimples on my forehead. Does it show that I have an oily scalp? I want to go for ayurvedic or natural remedies for my dandruff problem and hair fall and breakage. If my dandruff gets cured, I am sure my face will also get acne free. What should I do to get my hair and face fine? Kindly help.

Can my parents' knee and shoulder pain be treated with ayurvedic medicines?

Hi doctor,

I want to discuss my mom and dad's health issue with you. My dad has had knee pain for the last seven to eight months. The doctors we visited told him that he has osteoarthritis. But, some ayurvedic doctors told him that he had Vata dosha. So, he has been taking medicines like Ashwagandha, Shallaki, Haldi, and Nirgundi for the last four months. But, there is no improvement in his health. He also has an issue with a cracking noise from his knees. My mom works at a restaurant, and she has shoulder pain. According to the X-ray report, she has rotator cuff tendinitis. She is also taking medicines like Shallaki, Amba Haldi, and Giloy for the past five to ten days.

Please suggest an ayurvedic treatment for my parents.

How to treat a small abdominal lump in a 65-year-old female with Ayurvedic medicines?

Hi doctor,

My mother is 65 years old, and she underwent appendix surgery four years ago and surgery for an umbilical hernia 25 years ago. After the appendix surgery, the doctor advised her to eat boiled foods to avoid developing liver-related issues. Now, she has noticed a lump in her belly below the rib cage in the midsection, which has been there for the past two months. It is small in size, like a mountain with a sharp head. I need to know what it could be. And, what Ayurveda treatment would you suggest?

Please help.
