A Case of Multinodular Goiter Treated with Iodum 200 C

Abstract

Hyperthyroidism is a pathological disorder in which excess thyroid hormones are secreted by the thyroid gland. Hyperthyroidism increases with age and is more frequent in women. Hyperthyroidism develops in most of the cases of Multinodular Goiter after frequent intake of iodine. Multinodular Goiter (MNG) is the most common disorder of the thyroid gland result of the genetic heterogeneity of follicular cells and apparent acquisition of new inheritable cellular qualities. It is most often detected as a simple mass in the neck but sometimes an enlarging gland produces pressure symptoms. This article describes a case of a 39-year-old female patient who presented with swelling in neck associated with pain in left eye and blurred vision since 2 years. The case was diagnosed as Multinodular Goiter and treated in the OPD of our hospital. Thorough case taking was done and the totality of symptoms was constructed. Based on the totality, Iodum 200 C / 5 doses once in 3 days were prescribed for 2 weeks. The case got remarkably improved within a period of 4 months with the thyroid hormones ranging within normal limits. Thus it is evident that Multinodular Goiter with hyperthyroidism can be treated efficiently with well selected specific homoeopathic medicines.
