Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am 31 years old, and my partner and I are planning to conceive. Due to irregular periods, I underwent a follicular study for six months. After that, I did not pursue any treatment for three months, during which I also did not experience menstruation for the past four months. Upon consulting a doctor recently, I was prescribed tablets to induce periods. However, I prefer a natural approach. Can I incorporate Kalarchikai (fever nut) into my routine while taking these tablets?
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.
I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.
Based on the information you provided, irregular periods could be indicative of underlying conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or hormonal imbalances. While medications can assist in inducing periods, addressing the root cause of irregularities can enhance your chances of conception. Kalachikai, also referred to as Mace originates from the nutmeg tree and has been utilized in traditional medicine for various purposes. However, scientific evidence supporting its efficacy in regulating menstrual cycles or enhancing fertility remains limited. Combining Kalachikai with medication prescribed to induce periods may interfere with the medication's intended effects. Furthermore, initiating Kalachikai without proper diagnosis or guidance from a healthcare professional could result in unforeseen side effects or interactions with other medications. For optimal care, it is advisable to consult a gynecologist before altering your treatment plan or incorporating new supplements or herbal remedies. This ensures you receive tailored advice and guidance based on your specific medical condition and fertility objectives.
I appreciate your trust in icliniq.com and for giving me the chance to serve you.
