Abstract

Abstract Introduction Infertility is defined as the failure to conceive within 1 or more years of regular unprotected coitus. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India to be between 3.9 and 16.8%. Medical therapy includes the treatment of reversible endocrine or infectious causes of subfertility. In the medical literature, case reports of infertility are scanty. We aimed to report a case treated with homoeopathic constitutional medicine in a lady suffering from infertility. Case summary A female patient, aged 30, married for 6 years, presented with a complaint of having no issue despite treatment of infertility for a couple of years by a reproductive endocrinologist. Subsequent investigations showed that her ovarian reserve was inadequate. She was encouraged to undergo in vitro fertilisation because her husband's semen analysis report was normal. She decided to take homoeopathic treatment and received individualised care based on the holistic tenets of homoeopathy. After 3 months of treatment with the constitutional homoeopathic drug Natrum muriaticum, she became pregnant and gave birth to a healthy boy at term. This case report demonstrates the beneficial effects of individualised homoeopathy on infertility. The Modified Naranjo Criteria score (MONARCH) showed causal attribution of changes in her condition to the homoeopathic treatment.
