Homeopathic Management of Bulky Uterus with Uterine Fibroid in a 40-year-old Patient: An Evidence-Based Case Report.

Background:  Uterine fibroids are benign gynecological tumours that arise in the uterine smooth muscle tissue and are characterized by the production of excessive quantities of extracellular matrix. Various therapeutic options, from medical management to surgical intervention, exist for uterine fibroids, for which homeopathy has emerged as a promising therapeutic option in patient-centered care.

Case History:  A 40-year-old woman presented with complaints of heavy menstrual bleeding, with pain in the pelvic region and back. She was diagnosed as a case of bulky uterus with uterine fibroid. The patient opted for homeopathic management and was prescribed based on individualization, miasmatic analysis and repertorial totality.

Results:  After treatment, there was regression in size of the fibroid within 5 months, with complete resolution and restoration of the uterus to normal size within 9 months. Changes were validated through ultrasonography, which added objective evidence to the positive outcome. The Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy (MONARCH) inventory total score was +9, which indicated causal attribution of clinical outcome to the homeopathic intervention.

Conclusion:  This case study has illustrated the clinical benefits of homeopathy in the management of a patient with uterine fibroids, reaffirming the need for further research to explore its value as a therapeutic option for individuals seeking alternative or complementary approaches for appropriate medical conditions.
