Abstract
- Introduction: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a polygenic, multifactorial, syndromic disorder with reproductive, endocrine, and metabolic dysfunction seen in reproductive aged women (12-45 years). The exact cause is not known may involve increased luteinizing hormone, increased insulin levels, and a defect in androgen synthesis. The symptoms include anovulation, irregular menses, and hyperandrogenism. It is clinically manifested by hirsutism, acne, and androgenic alopecia. Health care practitioners continue to seek a cure for PCOS as it is increasing in frequency and is one of the major causes of anovulatory infertility.<br />Methods: The case was recorded in the gynaecological department at the Homoeopathic Medical College and Research Centre. An 18- year-old female patient with PCOS was treated with individualised homeopathy (iHOM) medicine between 26th September 2019 and 26th November 2020. During the follow-up visits, treatment outcomes were assessed. To assess whether the changes were due to homoeopathic medicine, an assessment using the modified Naranjo criteria was performed.<br />Results: Over an observational period of 1 year, beneficial result from iHOM medicine was seen. This treatment method can be used by the physicians in the treatment of PCOS as a complementary health practice.<br />Conclusion: Considering the multi-factorial aetiology of PCOS, iHOM medicine with lifestyle modification is helpful in treating PCOS.
