Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Can we take Kalarchika during periods as I have PCOD? I started to take it two weeks before but yesterday I suddenly had mild pain in the lower left abdomen. Kindly advice.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Kalarchika or Kalchikai is a well known Siddha medicine to manage PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease). In Ayurveda, it is identified as Kuberaksh or Lata karanja. It helps to reduce the size of an ovarian cyst and regulates hormonal imbalance. You should continue this even in periods too. Pain or cramps may be due to irritation or constipation. It can be managed by symptomatic treatment.
