Abstract:
This case report highlights the positive role of homoeopathic treatment in the management of the
endocrinal syndrome of ‘Menopause’. The improvement registered was not only subjective but
also on patho-physiological parameters. This is evident from the data with regard to subjective and
objective manifestations and pathological investigations recorded at the commencement of treatment
and on conclusion of the treatment. The improvement in psychosomatic manifestations was
corroborated by improvement in hormonal levels where FSH level came down from 54.61 to 15.72
mIU/ml. The psychosomatic manifestations included anxiety and depression, palpitation, insomnia,
memory lapses, mood swings, hot flushes and night sweats; all were alleviated with a drug not
frequently used for climacteric ailments, i.e. Crotalus horridus. The common presenting symptoms
of the patient were repertorized to arrive at this medicine, which is not so frequently used for
menopausal complaints (an approach different from the conventional one of repertorizing individual
characteristics of the patient).With this medicine other concomitant pathological conditions like
Trichomonas vaginalis discharge, chronic cervicitis, Nabothian follicle and tenderness in the right
fornix disappeared completely. The consultant Gynaecologist monitored the case throughout the
study and she duly authenticated the finasl dings.
