Abstract:
There is no direct reference of Homoeopathic medicines found useful in chronic cervicitis
and cervical erosion available in the Homoeopathic literature. The nearest reference to
chronic cervicitis is given as vaginitis, i.e. ‘Inflammation, vagina’ and that of cervical
erosion as ‘Excoriation’ in Kent’s Repertory. Some of the medicines under these rubrics
have been clinically used by the profession in the treatment of chronic cervicitis and
cervical erosion with favourable results. So the Central Council for Research in
Homoeopathy (CCRH) undertook this study. Patients for this prospective study were
drawn from the general OPD of different units under Central Council for Research in
Homoeopathy viz. RRI (H) New Delhi, CRU (H), Shimla CRU (H), Imphal CRU (H),
Varanasi, CRU (H), Tirupati during the period, 1987 to 2004. Even if there was lack of
laboratory evaluation or availability of gynecologist, the results indicate a positive role
of homoeopathic therapy in the clinical management of chronic cervicitis and cervical
erosion.
