Abstract
Uterine fibroids are common findings in women and represent benign smooth muscle tumours
of the uterus. These tumors are very frequently encountered in clinical practice.
Homeopathy offers a more favourable response to such conditions in addition to surgical
interventions. A 30-year-old female patient visited our outpatient department with
complaints of dyspareunia, which is characterized by painful sexual intercourse and
abdominal distension. Ultrasonography confirmed her diagnosis of uterine fibroids.
Following comprehensive case assessment and repertorization, the patient was initially
prescribed individualized homeopathic medicine Natrum muriaticum 200c, followed by
other medications as needed. Within approximately a year of homeopathic treatment,
the patient's condition began to improve. The Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy
(MONARCH) tool was employed to evaluate the causal relationship between homeopathic
intervention and clinical outcome. A MONARCH score of +7 indicated that the clinical
improvement was likely attributed to the homeopathic treatment, which aligns with
ultrasonographic findings obtained before and after treatment. This case study underscores
the effectiveness of tailored homeopathic treatment for uterine fibroids. However,
more studies and evidence-based clinical verification are necessary to establish the
efficacy of homeopathy in such cases.
