Troubled by Polycystic Ovarian Disease, this 19-year-old had irregular periods and weight gain.
Sneha’s irregular periods and weight gain were giving sleepless nights to her mother. Sneha, who was 19 years old had this problem since the past 4 years and was on conventional medicines. Her periods were regular as long as she took the medicines but became irregular when she stopped them. Her ultrasound report revealed multiple follicles in the ovaries and her condition was diagnosed as PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome).
Extreme anxiety about her marriage and possible pregnancy problems was troubling her mother day and night and this drove her to bring Sneha to Dr. Batra’s for treatment.
Sneha’s case was taken in details. She had no other major health problems apart from PCOS though she did suffer from constipation on and off.
Her mother mentioned that Sneha was quite shy and timid in nature. Low on self-confidence, she was dependent on her parents and friends for most of her decisions. She was afraid that she would make a mistake and the other person would laugh at her. Sneha was very sensitive to other people’s remarks about her. She also made sure that she did not offend or hurt others by her harsh words. She loved to listen to music and was terribly afraid of darkness and cockroaches. She would also tend to be stubborn at times since she had been pampered a lot in childhood, being the first child in the family. Average at studies, she often found it difficult to concentrate on her lessons.
The consulting homeopathic physician at Dr Batra’s worked out Sneha’s case and prescribed her the remedy Calcarea carbonicum 200 for her problems. She was also given Thuja 200 as intercurrent remedy. The in-house dietician also prescribed her a special weight-loss diet. Besides the treatment, she was also asked to follow a daily exercise routine.
For the first six months, her menses remained irregular in spite of the treatment. However, gradually her menses started getting regular. Her weight had already started reducing with regular exercise and diet. She reported improvement in her constipation as well. At the end of two years, her reports were all normal and she was in perfect health.
Now Sneha’s mother is free of anxiety about her menses but her sleepless nights still continue – this time it’s about getting a perfect groom for her daughter.
