Individualized homoeopathic approach in management of endometriosis: A case study

Abstract

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, often leading to pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility. The conventional management primarily focuses on hormonal therapy, analgesics, and surgical interventions, which may provide temporary relief but are often associated with relapse and side effects. Homoeopathy, based on the principle of individualization, offers a holistic approach by addressing both physical and emotional dimensions of the patient. This case study demonstrates the role of individualized homoeopathic treatment in the management of endometriosis, where the prescription was based on totality of symptoms, miasmatic background, and constitutional characteristics. Significant reduction in pain, improvement in menstrual regularity, and enhanced quality of life were observed, suggesting that homoeopathy may serve as a complementary option in the long-term management of endometriosis.
