ADENOMYOSIS OF UTERUS TREATED WITH HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINE SEPIA - A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Introduction - Adenomyosis also referred to as Endometriosis interna, is a condition where endometrial tissue grows at the myometrium and has a prevalence of 20% in premenopausal women. It is characterized by hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the myometrial stroma. Menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, and pain in the lower abdomen and pelvic area are common symptoms for the patient. The standard of care is hysterectomy. There are very few studies that show alternative therapies can effectively treat this condition. 

Case Summary -A 38-year-old female patient presented with symptoms of lower abdominal pain, menorrhagia, severe dysmenorrhoea, backache, and leucorrhoea for two to three years. Her clinical findings and the results of her USG of the abdomen and pelvis confirmed the diagnosis of uterine adenomyosis. Homeopathic medicine Sepia in centesimal potency was prescribed following a thorough case taking and repertorization. The effectiveness of individualised homoeopathic medicine was evaluated using modified Naranjo's criteria (Monorch) for homoeopathy.
