  • Uterine Fibroid

    Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas or myomas) are benign (non-cancerous) smooth muscle tumors that develop in the uterus. They are common in women of reproductive age and can vary in size, number, and location within the uterus.

    A case of multiple fibroids treated at RG’s Homoeopathy

    A 36-year-old female presented with severe pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding with clots. She had a constant heaviness in pelvic region since last 2 months associated with thick, white leucorrhea daily. Her Ultrasound report was as follows:

    1. Uterus: Shows multiple fibroids (largest 16 × 12 mm)
    2. Uterus: bulky, adenomyosis
    3. Cervix: bulky suggestive of cervicitis
    4. Bilateral PCOD (polycystic ovarian morphology)

    After 6 months of Homoeopathic Treatment

    1. Normal-sized uterus with no fibroids observed.
    2. Normal cervix.
    3. Normal ovaries and adnexae.

    Causes and Risk Factors:

    • Hormonal Imbalance: Estrogen and progesterone promote fibroid growth.
    • Genetics: Family history increases the risk.
    • Race: More common in African American women.
    • Obesity: Higher estrogen levels can contribute.
    • Diet & Lifestyle: High red meat intake and low vitamin D levels may be linked.

    Types of Fibroids:

    1. Intramural: Within the uterine wall (most common).
    2. Subserosal: Grow on the outer surface of the uterus.
    3. Submucosal: Protrude into the uterine cavity (can cause heavy bleeding).
    4. Pedunculated: Attached to the uterus by a stalk.

    Symptoms:

    • Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
    • Pelvic pain or pressure
    • Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder
    • Constipation
    • Backache or leg pain
    • Infertility or pregnancy complications in some cases

    Diagnosis:

    • Ultrasound (USG): First-line imaging.
    • MRI: Provides more detailed imaging.
    • Hysteroscopy/Sonohysterography: Useful for submucosal fibroids.

    Treatment Options:

    • Medical Management:
      • Hormonal therapy (e.g., birth control pills, GnRH agonists)
      • NSAIDs for pain relief
      • Tranexamic acid for heavy bleeding
    • Surgical Management:
      • Myomectomy: Removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus (for fertility preservation).
      • Hysterectomy: Complete removal of the uterus (definitive treatment for symptomatic cases).

    Prognosis:

    • Fibroids may shrink after menopause.
    • Proper treatment can effectively manage symptoms.
    • Recurrence is possible, especially after myomectomy.

    Lifestyle & Dietary Recommendations:

    • Diet: Increase iron-rich foods (beetroot, spinach, jaggery) to prevent anemia.
    • Hydration: Drink plenty of water to prevent estrogen dominance.
    • Exercise: Light yoga and walking help with circulation.
    • Stress Management: Meditation and relaxation techniques reduce hormonal imbalances.

    Homeopathic Perspective:

    Individualized treatment based on totality of symptoms.

    Focus on constitutional remedy to prevent recurrence.

  • Hemorrhagic Ovarian Cyst

    A hemorrhagic ovarian cyst (HOC) is a functional cyst that forms when a blood vessel within the ovarian follicle ruptures, causing blood to accumulate inside. These cysts are common but larger cysts can cause significant discomfort and complications.

    A cured case of Left Hemorrhagic Ovarian Cyt of ~56 × 36 mm

    A 20 year old female visits the clinic with pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and irregular menstrual cycle. Her ultrasound reports showed the following findings

    1. Left Ovarian Hemorrhagic Cyst (~56 × 36 mm) with dense internal echoes and thick echogenic debris.
    2. Grade I Fatty Liver (~14.2 cm)
    3. Gastritis

    After 6 months of Homoeopathic Treatment

    1. Left ovarian hemorrhagic cyst resolved.
    2. No signs of fatty liver.
    3. Gastritis improved.
    4. Overall abdominal health restored with no abnormal findings.

    Causes

    • Hormonal Imbalance – Irregular ovulation or excessive estrogen production.
    • Menstrual Cycle Variations – Often seen in women of reproductive age.
    • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – Increases the risk of cyst formation.
    • Endometriosis – Endometrial tissue may form cystic lesions filled with blood.
    • Use of Fertility Drugs – Can lead to excessive ovarian stimulation.

    Symptoms:

    • Pelvic Pain – Often on one side, worsening during menstruation.
    • Lower Abdominal Heaviness – A sensation of pressure.
    • Irregular Menstrual Cycles – Due to hormonal fluctuations.
    • Painful Intercourse (Dyspareunia) – Especially deep penetration.
    • Frequent Urination or Bowel Issues – Due to pressure on surrounding organs.
    • Rupture Symptoms – Sudden severe pain, dizziness, nausea, or internal bleeding (in rare cases).

    Prognosis and Possible Complications

    • Rupture or Bleeding: Large cysts may burst, leading to internal bleeding and requiring emergency care.
    • Torsion: A large cyst may twist the ovary, cutting off blood supply and causing severe pain.
    • Chronic Pain or Adhesions: In some cases, repeated cyst formation can lead to pelvic adhesions.

    Impact on Daily Life

    • Pain and Discomfort – Can affect routine activities, including work and exercise.
    • Emotional Stress – Anxiety related to menstrual irregularities and fertility concerns.
    • Sexual Dysfunction – Pain during intercourse may affect relationships.
    • Reduced Energy Levels – Chronic pelvic pain can lead to fatigue.

    Conventional Treatment Approaches

    • Observation: Small cysts are monitored through ultrasound.
    • Pain Management: NSAIDs like ibuprofen to relieve pain.
    • Hormonal Therapy: Birth control pills to prevent cyst formation.

    Surgical Intervention:

    • Cystectomy – Removal of the cyst while preserving the ovary.
    • Oophorectomy – Removal of the ovary if necessary.
    • Emergency Surgery – Required if rupture leads to internal bleeding.

    Homeopathic Perspective:

    An individualized treatment based on totality of symptoms focuses on:

    • Reducing pain and inflammation naturally.
    • Dissolving existing cysts and preventing recurrence.
    • Balancing hormonal fluctuations to promote regular ovulation.
    • Prescribing a constitutional remedy to prevent recurrence.
