Individualized Homoeopathic Management of Symptomatic Uterine Fibroid: A Case Report Based on the Totality of Symptoms

Uterine Fibroid, also known as leiomyoma, is a common benign tumor of the uterus affecting women of reproductive age. It may present with symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, pressure symptoms, infertility, and anemia. The condition significantly impacts the quality of life.
From a homeopathic perspective, uterine fibroids are considered as a manifestation of deep-seated constitutional imbalance. Homeopathy emphasizes individualized treatment based on the totality of symptoms including mental, physical, and emotional characteristics. Remedies such as Sepia, Calcarea carb, Lachesis, Thuja, and Phosphorus are commonly indicated depending on symptom similarity.
Homeopathy aims to provide safe, non-invasive, and holistic management by addressing the root cause and improving overall health.
