    Uterine fibroid and haemorrhagic ovarian cyst treated with homoeopathic medicine Sepia officinalis in LM potency: an evidence-based case report
    (Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, 2025) Moorthi, Karunakara; Tharshini, K R Siva
    Introduction: Uterine fibroids are the most common benign neoplasms of the female genital tract in reproductive-age women. The wide range of symptoms includes menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, continuous/post-menopausal bleeding, pain and pressure symptoms. The haemorrhagic ovarian cyst is an adnexal mass which resolves spontaneously by itself but requires surgery if it is more than 5 cm in size. Case Summary: A 46-year-old female patient came to the outpatient department with profuse uterine bleeding during menses lasting approximately 8–10 days and cutting pain in the lower abdomen extending to the back for two years. Magnetic resonance imaging studies showed a uterine fibroid along with a haemorrhagic cyst. Sepia officinalis was prescribed based on the results obtained from repertorisation of the totality of symptoms. The Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy score of +8 indicated that clinical improvement was likely attributable to the homoeopathic treatment, which aligns with imaging results obtained during and after treatment. This case report emphasises the effect of homoeopathic treatment on uterine fibroids and haemorrhagic cysts.

    Management of leiomyoma and ovarian cyst with homoeopathic medicine Thuja occidentalis
    (Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, 2025) Wadhwa, Bharti; Madhukar, Sujata; Kureel, Shweta Singh
    Introduction: Leiomyoma (Uterine Fibroid [UF]) is the most prevalent benign solid tumour arising from the neoplastic transformation of smooth muscle cells of myometrium in the reproductive age of females. Fibroids are rare before puberty, increase in prevalence during the reproductive years, and usually reduce in size after menopause. Case Summary: A 34-year-old woman presented with a complaint of hypogastric pain, and heavy bleeding during her menstrual periods since 3–4 months. Her menstrual cycle was irregular. She was diagnosed with an intramural UF and a right ovarian cyst on ultrasonography. Thuja occidentalis (in different potencies) was prescribed based on individualisation, repertorial totality, and miasmatic analysis. Within seven months of homoeopathic treatment, there was a complete regression in the size of the UF and ovarian cyst, with amelioration of all the associated symptoms. The VAS score also reduced from 6 to 0. The Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy was used, and a score of +9 indicated a strong causal attribution between clinical outcome and the homoeopathic intervention. The case was followed up with a symptomatic assessment reported by the patient, the Visual Analogue Scale, and laboratory investigations.

    Role of individualised homoeopathic treatment in a case of secondary infertility with uterine fibroid treated through psychosomatic approach
    (Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, 2025) Swarup, Neha; Gupta, Mahesh; Mishra, Maneesh; Gupta, Sanjay
    Introduction: Infertility is the inability of a couple to conceive even after being sexually active for a period of one year. It is a fact that the inability to have one’s own child is a grave concern worldwide. Infertility is a globally prevalent condition, with 8–12% of the world population suffering from it. Infertility in females can be due to several causes, one of them is a uterine anomaly like uterine fibroid. Uterine fibroids are generally considered a structural pathology and mostly managed as a surgical condition. A vast literature review emphasises the importance of psychological factors which can lead to structural pathologies, such as uterine fibroids causing infertility, and that this psycho-somatic aspect should be considered as a factor for infertility, which can be treated by individualised homoeopathic medicines. Case Summary: This is a case of 30-year-old female suffering from secondary infertility along with recurrent uterine fibroids even after the procedure of myomectomy. A psychosomatic assessment of the patient and her homoeopathic treatment for a period of 24 months, along with individualised homoeopathic medicine, Aurum muriaticum natronatum in 200C and 1M potencies, proved beneficial in her treatment of secondary infertility. The causal attribution of the likelihood of the effect of psycho-somatic homoeopathic treatment on a patient’s secondary infertility was assessed with Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy (MONARCH). Further elaborate research is necessary to ascertain the role of homoeopathic medication in treating secondary infertility.
