Abstract

Introduction: Infertility is the inability of a couple to conceive even after being sexually active for a period of one year. It is a fact that the inability to have one’s own child is a grave concern worldwide. Infertility is a globally prevalent condition, with 8–12% of the world population suffering from it. Infertility in females can be due to several causes, one of them is a uterine anomaly like uterine fibroid. Uterine fibroids are generally considered a structural pathology and mostly managed as a surgical condition. A vast literature review emphasises the importance of psychological factors which can lead to structural pathologies, such as uterine fibroids causing infertility, and that this psycho-somatic aspect should be considered as a factor for infertility, which can be treated by individualised homoeopathic medicines.

Case Summary: This is a case of 30-year-old female suffering from secondary infertility along with recurrent uterine fibroids even after the procedure of myomectomy. A psychosomatic assessment of the patient and her homoeopathic treatment for a period of 24 months, along with individualised homoeopathic medicine, Aurum muriaticum natronatum in 200C and 1M potencies, proved beneficial in her treatment of secondary infertility. The causal attribution of the likelihood of the effect of psycho-somatic homoeopathic treatment on a patient’s secondary infertility was assessed with Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy (MONARCH). Further elaborate research is necessary to ascertain the role of homoeopathic medication in treating secondary infertility.
