 This is a case of Miss P. S. (Patient
identification number: S5832), a 20 year old girl who
reported to the clinic on 25.06.03. She was accompanied by
her parents. She complained of having lump in the left
breast since the past 6 months. She had been already
operated and the lump was removed before she had come to
our center. After this surgical intervention, there was a
recurrence of the lump in her right breast within a month
and a new lump had developed in the left breast within 6
weeks. The lumps were gradually increasing in size.
Personal details:
She had liking for spicy food. She was very sensitive to
hot weather and could not take hot climate at all. There
has been a history of somnambulism in her case 3 years
back.
Constitution:
She was a girl who was tall, dark in complexion and lean
by physical structure.
Family set up:
She was in the last year of her graduation and was
pursuing her studies in the field of commerce.
Her family consisted
of her father who was doing a job in RCF, her mother who
was a housewife, and her elder brother.
Emotional sphere:
She was a brilliant girl. She was very smart by nature.
She also had fear of darkness. She loved to learn German
language and had completed her basic studies where by she
could communicate in German and could also write in
German.
Past history:
She had past history of jaundice, typhoid, and recurrent
malarial episodes. She also had asthmatic bronchitis as a
child.
Family history:
Her father reported to have hypercholesterolemia, mother
had history of tuberculous lymph nodes, and her maternal
aunt had muscular dystrophy.
On examination:
On examination it was revealed that she had bilateral
lobed, large and mildly tender fibroids in both her
breasts.
Investigations:
The biopsy of the swelling confirmed that it was
intracanalicular fibroadenoma.
Prescriptive
totality:
Based on this totality she was prescribed the homoeopathic
medicines namely Carcinosin 200, Silicea 200, Phytolacca
200, Thuja 200 and Tuberculinum 1M.
Follow up details:
After the administration of these drugs the size of the
fibroids was stabilized and the further growth of these
fibroids was halted. Due to the fibroids she used to
develop intermittent backache. This backache would be
worse by stooping and by bending. For these complaints
also she was treated with homoeopathy and the pain
improved significantly.
After 4 months of
treatment, it was found that the lump on her right breast
has regressed almost by 60%, whereas the one on the left
breast had regressed by 65%.
With subsequent
treatment, the lumps on both her breast regressed further
in size. After taking the medication for 4 more months,
she reported that the lumps in both her breast had
practically gone away.
She however reported
that her menses had been very irregular off late. She was
treated with suitable medication for her irregular
medicines in order to correct the internal hormonal
disharmony within the body.
She continued
treatment for about 3 years, after which her complaints
have all disappeared. There has been no recurrence of any
of the breast lumps which she had before starting the
treatment. Even the menses have been regularized largely.
Remarks:
This case depicts the best example wherein one should
understand the fact that surgery is not always an ultimate
option for all types of diseases. There are ample of
opportunities available where by one can save oneself from
the surgeons knife. |
