Management of Ovarian Cysts through Individualized Homoeopathic Medicine: A Case Series

Abstract Ovarian cysts are common gynecological problems encountered by gynecologists in their day-to-day practice. They are benign growths arising from the ovary and occur in the reproductive age group. Conventional system of medicine usually opts for surgical procedures in such cases. Homoeopathic system of medicine is a specialized system that believes in individualization. This article reports five cases of suffering from ovarian cysts, who reported at Dr. D.P. Rastogi Central Research Institute, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. All the five cases were treated successfully with individualized homoeopathic medicines. Each patient received individualized homoeopathic medicine selected on the basis of the totality of symptoms using synthesis repertory with the help of RADAR software. Pre and post treatment ultrasongraphy USG reports were kept as evidence. The assessment of causal attribution of homeopathic treatment effect was performed using the Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy (MONARCH). Marked improvement was observed in all five cases, with complete resolution of the cysts along with symptomatic relief, which was evident by USG reports. The MONARCH scores were +9/13, +7/13, +8/13, +9/13, and +7/13, which indicate a positive causal attribution of homeopathy in relieving the symptoms. This case series suggests a significant role of individualized homeopathic medicines in the resolution of ovarian cysts and associated symptoms. The results obtained from this case series are encouraging.
