PCOS: Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

PCOS, or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, is becoming more and more notable in OBGYN clinics nowadays. There are many women’s endocrine disorders, and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of them. PCOSThe hormonal imbalance in ovarian cyst formation mainly defines the condition. The primary symptoms of PCOS include delayed menses, irregular menses, prolonged menses, and absent menses for months. Women with this disorder may also have excessive hair growth on the face or other unusual body parts (chest, stomach, hips). Acne very often could also accompany polycystic ovarian syndrome. Many women who are finding it hard to get pregnant suffer from PCOS, which prevents them from creating an egg and conceiving. And those females experiencing hair fall could also develop cysts in their ovaries instead of producing eggs. These women often gain excessive weight, which eventually leads to obesity. The compounding effects of PCOS are diabetes mellitus and hypertension.

Does homeopathic treatment for polycystic ovarian syndrome work?

There are several homeopathic remedies for PCOS, all made from natural organic substances based on the philosophy “like cures like.” Hence, they cause zero side effects and are sure to heal PCOS. Depending on the case, various homeopathic medicines are required to extract the disease from its roots. Before a treatment protocol is prescribed, the patient’s mental and physical spheres must be thoroughly investigated. It takes a long time to cure polycystic ovarian syndrome since the homeopath will administer and adjust treatment on a cycle basis. Don’t expect all the symptoms to be gone in a flash. Examining the changes in symptoms coupled with frequent clinical follow-ups will ensure one of the total cures.

The following are some of the homeopathic remedies for PCOS:

  • Sepia is one of the most common Homeopathic remedies for PCOS

Sepia treats Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, which manifests itself in short, late, and scanty menses. The woman with this disorder feels a bearing-down sensation in the pelvic region. Taking Sepia can synchronize the menstrual cycle so that it appears at the proper and expected time. Women having infertility problems due to PCOS can also find a solution in Sepia. However, one of the major PCOS symptoms controlled by the Sepia homeopathic treatment is abnormal facial hair growth, especially between the upper lip and nose (mustaches). Before prescribing Sepia, other symptoms to be looked for include mental irritability, sensitivity to cold air, and indifferent behavior towards those close to you. A woman’s complaint about sweating with the smell of fish is a very important symptom that makes homeopathic practitioners use Sepia.

  • Pulsatilla: treating PCOS with suppressed menses for a long duration

As a natural homeopathic treatment, Pulsatilla is used to treat PCOS cases in females suffering from suppressed periods for a prolonged duration. Of course, Pulsatilla will help restore periods in such women. However, they will initially appear scanty and extremely painful. With time, the obstacles suppressing periods disappear, and menstruation usually flows. As a homeopathic remedy for polycystic ovarian syndrome, Pulsatilla is critical in helping young girls at puberty suffering from irregular periods. Women who don’t ever feel thirsty and those who always desire cool, open air are the ones in great need of Pulsatilla. Also, the physician should look for symptoms that include a mild and sensitive mental nature with a tendency to weep before prescribing Pulsatilla. These women weep at the slightest provocation and feel better when consoled.

  • Calcarea carbonica: treating PCOS with prolonged and profuse periods
  • Natrum Muriaticum: treating PCOS with irregular and suppressed menses

Women seeking to regularize their menstrual cycles should take the homeopathic medicine Natrum Mur. This medicine should also benefit women who cannot conceive due to PCOS. Symptoms to look out for before taking Natrum Mur include an aversion to heat from the sun, an unusually hot sensation, and a craving for extra salt in food. Patients with a reserved nature, weeping spells when alone, and worsening mental conditions, when sympathized with, should also take Natrum Muriaticum.

  • Thuja Occidentalis: treating PCOS with retarded menstrual flow

Retarded menstrual flow due to ovarian cysts is best treated using Thuja Occidentalis. This homeopathic remedy can dissolve abnormal growths, including cysts. If a woman has a more pronounced cystic growth on the left side of the ovary, taking Thuja is the best remedy. In addition, Thuja also effectively treats extreme hair growth on unusual body parts due to PCOS-induced hormonal imbalance.

  • Pulsatilla, Kali Carb, and Senecio: treating PCOS for suppressed or absent menses

If you want to re-establish the absent menses, take Pulsatilla, Kali Carbonicum, and Senecio. Pulsatilla is the most effective of the three homeopathic remedies in returning menstrual periods. If your menses have been absent for months due to PCOS, you are better off taking Kali Carb. Sometimes, women experiencing suppressed menses may feel like their periods are about to return. The woman might have complaints about menses, such as heaviness, nausea, and pelvic pain, but without seeing the menses. That’s when Senecio becomes the most effective homeopathic remedy for PCOS.

  • Sulfur and Silicea: Treating PCOS with acne or pimples

Women with PCOS suffering from acne are best treated with Sulfur and Silicea. Anyone with acne will get the best results using sulfur as their homeopathic remedy. Sulfur is best applied in cases where the acne is either itchy or painful. When the acne contains deep-rooted pus, the best homeopathic remedy is Silicea.

  • Graphite, Ammonium Carb, and Calcarea Carbonica: Treating PCOS with obesity

Women are better off taking Calcarea Carbonicum, Ammonium Carbonicum, and Graphites to treat PCOS with obesity. Each case will be examined for unique symptoms before a specific homeopathic remedy is prescribed.

Conclusion

Of course, homeopathic remedies for PCOS can address various symptoms, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and infertility. However, the treatment will depend on the individual patient’s unique symptoms. Homeopathy aims not to provide a universal elixir but a solution that will serve the needs of every patient.
