A Case of Uterine Fibroid Associated with Gallbladder Polyp Treated with Homoeopathy

Abstract

AbstractUterine fibroids are benign growths in female reproductive system. The presentation of uterine fibroid varies, if it is symptomatic; it may include abnormal uterine bleeding or abdominal pressure and heaviness distressing the patient both physically and mentally. A case of a female patient aged 45 years with prolonged uterine bleeding for 10 to 12 days and pain in lower abdomen for 1 year is reported here. Imaging study showed multiple uterine fibroids with grade II fatty liver and gallbladder polyps. Constitutional homoeopathic medicine Phosphorus was prescribed. This case report is an example of speedy recovery by homoeopathy as evident from decrease in symptoms (visual analogue score) and ultrasonography of abdomen report which shows not only the regression of fibroids but also disappearance of grade II fatty liver and gallbladder polyps within 2 months of treatment. Assessment of the causal attribution of the outcomes of this treated case to the homoeopathic intervention was done using Modified Naranjo Criteria and ‘definite’ association was found.
