Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have a small size of a cyst. The doctor told I have PCOD. I am taking Kalarchikkai with pepper and honey making small balls for the past 28 days. The first time I got period after 28 days second time I got after 13 days. Is it normal? Can I continue the medicine for 48 days? Or shall I stop? Please suggest ideas.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Nowadays, period anomalies mostly occur due to PCOD (Polycystic Ovarian Disease). PCOD may lead to menstrual cycle changes, a cyst in the ovary, trouble getting pregnant and other health issues.

The Probable causes

PCOD is linked to changes in the level of certain female hormones like estrogen and progesterone.

Investigations to be done

USG abdomen (ultrasound), estrogen, LH (luteinizing hormone), FSH (Follicle-stimulating hormone), lipid profile, blood sugar.

Differential diagnosis

Hypothyroidism, inflammatory pelvic disorder.

Treatment plan

As per your description, you are already taking Kalachikai powder with honey. Kalachikai helps to manage cyst issues naturally. You should continue this powder 0.11 0z twice a day with honey after meals for 90 days. Along with this, you can also take Hyponidd charak (Yashad bhasma with purified asphaltum) two tablets twice a day after meals and Ashokaristam (Ashoka, Guda, Amla) one tablespoon twice a day with an equal amount of water after meals.

Preventive measures

Avoid spicy and fried junk foods. Do regular Kapalbhati and Mandukasana as well as pranayama like anuloma vilom nadi sodhan and bhramari.

Regarding follow up

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
