Female disorders
Now-a-days, many young females complain of irregular menses and are diagnosed with PCOD after doing an ultrasound scan and hormonal studies. General symptoms of PCOD include – obesity, acne, excessive facial hair, or excessive hair in unusual areas of the body.
In PCOD, the sex hormones get imbalanced. Multiple cysts are observed in the ovaries. The conventional treatment includes taking hormonal pills on a regular basis. These pills disturb the natural cycle and have several side effects. So they are not well accepted by most patients.
Homoeopathy helps to reduce the size of the cysts in the ovaries and corrects the hormonal imbalance in the body, which eventually regularizes the menstrual cycle.
Painful menstruation also known as ‘Dysmenorrhoea’
is another disturbing complaint for many women. Most women get habituated of taking painkillers and anti spasmodic tablets during every menstrual cycle. Depending upon the cause i.e. endometriosis, ovarian cysts, pelvic congestion the intensity of the pain varies.
Constitutional homoeopathic treatment reduces the intensity of the uterine contractions, helping the patient have pain free menstrual cycles.
Conditions like:
- excessive vaginal discharge leading to vaginal infections
- fibroids
- menopausal complaints
can also be taken care of using homoeopathy.
Homoeopathic treatment is well accepted in such disorders since it does not have any side effects and does not interfere with the natural cycle of the body.
Case of Polycystic Ovarian disease:
Miss DP, 19 year old female, comes to me through her Sonologist who diagnosed her to have PCOD. She was obese and still gaining weight constantly. She had excessive growth of hair on her face and abdomen. Along with cysts in the ovaries, her sonography report also showed the presence of kidney stones.
She was extremely troubled by her irregular menses. The cycle was painful and the bleeding scanty. She also had outbreaks of acne and increased quantity of vaginal discharges. Headaches usually accompanied her periods. All these symptoms caused a lot of anxiety in her. After a detailed case study, a constitutional homoeopathic medicine was prescribed and also a good diet and exercise routine for her weight loss was advised .Within a few months she showed marked improvement in the regularity of her menstrual cycle and also the pain experienced during menses. She started losing weight and the acne too cleared out completely.
