Homoeopathic Management of Endometriosis: A Case Report

Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus, known as endometrium, grows outside of the uterus. This can cause pain, inflammation and formation of adhesions. The common symptoms include pelvic pain, painful periods, heavy bleeding, dyspareunia and infertility. The cause of endometriosis is not fully understood but it is thought to be related to hormonal imbalances and genetics. Methods of treatment include medication, hormonal therapy and surgery. Homoeopathy is a holistic system of medicine which works on the principle of ‘like cures like’. The present case report depicts a case of 26 years old female patient suffering from heavy menstrual bleeding and pain during menses. Based on the totality of symptoms, individualized homoeopathic medicine Pulsatilla 200C was prescribed and the patient was recovered.
