    LM potency of Calcarea carbonica for individualised homoeopathic treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome: A case report
    (Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, 2025) Khatoon, Rayba; Kamila, Sumanta; Sarkar, Sanjay; Bappa, Javed Aquatar
    Introduction: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) stands as a prevalent and diverse endocrine disorder affecting women in their reproductive years. It manifests through various clinical symptoms such as oligo-anovulation, polycystic ovaries, and symptoms due to elevated serum androgen levels. Amidst the frequent side effects and limited long-term effi cacy of conventional treatments, there is a growing interest in complementary therapies that can alleviate PCOS symptoms without adverse impacts. Homoeopathy, known for its individualised approach and success in treating various conditions, including PCOS, emerges as a hopeful solution. This case report aims to showcase the favourable results attained through individualised homoeopathic treatment not only in the PCOS symptoms but also the overall complaints of the patient. Case summary: A 25-year-old female visited the outpatient department of The Calcutta Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, West Bengal, India, with complaints of irregular and scanty menstrual cycles for the past two years. She was diagnosed with PCOS based on both clinical symptoms and ultrasonographic findings. An individualised homoeopathic remedy, Calcarea carbonica, was prescribed in fifty millesimal (LM) potency, taking into consideration the symptoms of both particular and general spheres. Follow-ups revealed gradual improvement. The remarkable clinical progress, along with a score of +10 on the Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy (MONARCH) tool, highlights the usefulness of individualised homoeopathic medicine in improving the symptoms of PCOS.

    Polycystic ovarian syndrome and homoeopathic management
    (Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, 2024) Rath, Padmalaya; Gautam, Priya; Goswami, Amiyananda Dev; Jana, Shib Narayan
    Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a disorder of chronically abnormal ovarian function and hyperandrogenism (abnormally elevated androgen levels). It is manifested by irregular menstrual cycles, polycystic ovaries, acne, excess unwanted hair growth, obesity, etc. PCOS can affect a female’s fertility. The global prevalence of PCOS varies from 5% to 18%, with an average prevalence of 276·4 cases per 100,000 people in Europe. The prevalence of PCOS in India ranges from 3.7 to 22.5% depending on the population studied. Case Summary: This is a case series of five patients suffering from PCOS, assessed on the basis of intermenstrual duration, acne global score, Ferriman-Gallwey score (FG score), ultrasound reports for the size of ovaries, biochemical and hormonal reports at baseline and at the end of treatment. In this case series, individualised homoeopathic medicines were given for the management of PCOS. Indicated constitutional homoeopathic medicines, such as Pulsatilla, Sepia, Calc. carb. and Nat. mur. were prescribed to these patients. The cases responded with marked improvement in intermenstrual duration and body mass index scores, along with hormonal derangement.
