A case report of infertility with uterine fibroid treated with constitutional homoeopathic medicines

Abstract

Infertility may be broadly subdivided into primary and secondary infertility. Primary infertility is infertility in a couple who never had a child, whereas secondary infertility is failure to conceive following previous live birth of a child. Infertility may be due to specific pathology in male (20-30%), female (30-50%) and unexplained (25-30%). Uterine fibroid (UF) is present in 5-30% of female infertile patients. Here presented a case report of 32 years old married female having secondary infertility with UF for 4 years. Failure to spontaneous conception after leading a 2 years normal conjugal life, the couple had consulted with Gynecologist and she was diagnosed with UF (>3cm). She was treated with conventional medical therapies for 2 years but no successful result and finally surgery was advised. At this point, she took treatment with constitutional homoeopathic medicines (Sepia followed by Natrum muriaticum) over 6 month’s period and conceived spontaneously and normally delivered a healthy girl child at full term without any complications. This case shows the positive role of constitutional homoeopathic treatment on secondary Sub-fertility with UF.
