Abstract

Abstract: Introduction: Uterine fibroids are a common gynaecological condition affecting women worldwide, often leading to significant morbidity and impacting quality of life. While conventional treatment options exist, there is growing interest in alternative therapies such as homeopathy. Objective: The objective of this review paper is to assess the effectiveness of homeopathic medicines in treating uterine fibroids through the analysis of recent clinical trials and observational studies, aiming to provide insights into the potential role of homeopathy as a complementary or alternative therapy for uterine fibroids. Methodology: A thorough search of databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and pertinent medical journals was undertaken to locate recent studies on the efficacy of homeopathic medicines for uterine fibroids. Only studies meeting predefined inclusion criteria, including randomized controlled trials, prospective observational studies, and systematic reviews, were included in the review process. Result: Recent studies investigating the efficacy of homeopathic medicines in treating uterine fibroids consistently demonstrated positive outcomes, including symptom alleviation, reduction in fibroid size, and improved quality of life. Various remedies showed effectiveness across various potencies. Symptom severity scales, including the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and Verbal Multidimensional Scoring System (VMSS), were utilized to assess pelvic pain, menstrual bleeding, and discomfort. Quality of life measures like the WHOQOL-BREF scale provided insights into overall well-being. Conclusion: In conclusion, homeopathic medicines show promise as a safe and effective treatment option for uterine fibroids, offering personalized care and improving quality of life. However, more research, including larger trials and long-term studies, is needed to confirm these findings and understand the underlying mechanisms better.
