Management of ovarian cyst through sepia given in LM potency – Case series

Abstract

Ovarian cysts are benign growths arising from the ovary, usually occurring in women of reproductive age. Ovarian cysts are fairly common in clinical practice and may be diagnosed symptomatically or incidentally through investigations like ultrasound sonography. This article reports two cases of women with ovarian cysts who were treated successfully with individualised homoeopathic medicines. The medicines were prescribed in fifty millesimal (LM) potency, based on homoeopathic principles of individualisation. The cases were further observed for 12 months without recurrence of symptoms. Both patients were assessed at baseline and end of treatment for pain using the visual analogue scale score and ultrasound reports. During treatment, both patients followed up every 20 days. After treatment ended, they were further observed for 12 months for symptom recurrence. In the second case, the MONARCH score was +7/13, indicating a positive causal attribution of homoeopathy in resolution of the pathological ovarian mass. Favourable results were observed through homoeopathic constitutional approach to ovarian cysts. Symptomatic relief and objective changes were seen, along with no recurrence of the symptoms and cysts. Homoeopathic Individualized medicines prescribed in fifty millesimal potency can serve beneficially in the management of surgical cases like ovarian cysts.
