 OBJECTIVE:
To establish the positive role of Homoeopathy in curing surgical
diseases like uterine fibroid and ovarian cyst through homoeopathic
medicine at the general practice in Allahabad India.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The well-proven Homeopathic
medicines were selected on the basis of principles of homeopathy
to the patients of uterine fibroid and ovarian cyst during the period
of 1996 to 2004. The patients were assessed on the basis of changes
in the symptoms during the period of 3-4 months and Ultrasound done
after that to assess the size of fibroid.
RESULTS: Statistical Data of patients cured by
us 1996-2004:
No. Of Patients entered
- 123
No. Of patients who followed the protocol
- 100
No. Of patients which improved - 85
No. Of patients with complete removal of fibroid -

CONCLUSIONS: Homeopathy is becoming increasingly popular
throughout the entire world. Now it is time to prove to the world
what homeopathy can offer in surgical diseases. Homeopathic medicines
cannot take the place of surgery but can be of great help to the
patients who do not want to go for surgery or cannot be operated
upon due to various medical reasons. It is also ideal for underdeveloped
and developing countries where financial factors play a major role
in deciding the options for treatment.
