EMPOWERING HEALING: AN INDIVIDUALIZED HOMOEOPATHIC APPROACH IN FIBROID UTERUS AND RENAL CYST - AN EVIDENCE-BASED CASE REPORT

Abstract

Background: Uterine fibroids are frequently encountered in women and represent smooth muscle tumours of the uterus. They are benign growths with clonal origins that respond to hormones. Although they often do not necessarily cause symptoms, but many women experience pelvic pain, reproductive issues, and significant bleeding, which can lead to anaemia. Uterine fibroids are the leading reason for hysterectomy procedures. Homeopathy offers an alternative approach for managing such conditions as an alternative to surgical interventions. Recently, a 25-year-old female patient visited our outpatient department with the complaints of heavy menstrual bleeding. Ultrasonography confirmed that she was suffering from uterine fibroids along with a renal cyst. Following a thorough case assessment and repertorization, the patient was initially prescribed the individual homeopathic medicine Calcarea carbonica. Remarkably, within just one month, the patient began to show signs of improvement. As the homeopathic treatment continued for a year and a half, the patient's symptoms gradually vanished, and she were completely relieved of all their complaints. The Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy tool was employed to evaluate the causal relationship between the homeopathic intervention and the clinical outcome. The MONARCH score of (+7) strongly indicated that the observed clinical improvement was likely a result of the homeopathic treatment. This conclusion is further supported by the comparison of ultrasonographic findings taken before and after the treatment, which also showed positive changes. This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of individual homeopathic treatment for uterine fibroids. However, to firmly establish the effectiveness of homeopathy in such cases, further studies and evidence-based clinical verification are necessary.
