7 What is homeopathy?

For over 250 years homeopathy has offered a system of healthcare that is very different from conventional medicine and it is one of the five most widely sought forms of complementary medicine.

what is homoeopathy?  

Homeopathy is a ‘holistic’ system of healthcare that focuses on the patient, as an ‘individual’ to provide enduring health and well being. Homeopathy recognises that symptoms of ill health are expressions of disharmony within the whole person and that it is the patient who needs treatment, not the disease.

Homeopathic medicines are remedies, not drugs and are made from a variety of 'natural substances' such as plants and minerals. They are prepared in licensed laboratories under strict quality control. Homeopathic remedies cannot cause side effects and you cannot become addicted to them. This is because they are prepared in highly diluted forms and only a minute amount of the active ingredient is prescribed. In over 250 years of use no homeopathic remedy has ever been withdrawn for adverse side effects.

To discuss the meaning of the name homeopathy is to take it back to its Greek roots. It incorporates two Greek words ‘homoios’ and ‘pathos’. Homoios implies ‘like or similar’ and pathos means ‘suffering’. The two words put together give a single term that implies ‘like suffering’. It is often summarised by saying ‘treating like with like’ – an illness is treated with a ‘natural’ substance, which could produce similar symptoms in a healthy person.

Therefore, to restore health, a homeopath has to find a remedy that matches the patient’s symptoms.

It is believed that homeopathic remedies work with the body, acting as a catalyst to stimulate the body's natural ability to heal itself. Homeopathy is a bit like getting a jump start from another car! The energy sources are the remedies so that the body can run on all cylinders again.

The major difference between homeopathy and conventional medicine is that homeopaths treat the ‘whole person' with the illness, rather than simply treating the physical and/or emotional symptoms in isolation. We can greatly underestimate the part our emotions play in maintaining health and well being. Just as joy, laughter and the feeling of being cared for can keep us in good health, the opposite feelings of sadness, grief, anxiety and insecurity can be the cause of physical symptoms. The opposite is also true in that pain can cause depression, anger and anxiety.

Homeopaths understand that establishing good health involves treating both the mind and body, rather than concentrating on any one area of the body or particular symptom. A truly holistic form of healthcare.

As homeopathy is such an ‘individualised’ form of healthcare, no two patients with the same diagnosis and apparently similar symptoms will receive the same remedy. For example, two patients may visit a homeopath with hay fever and display similar physical symptoms, such as sneezing, a runny nose and sore, itching eyes. The differences between the patients that would warrant different remedies are based upon personalities, lifestyles and the cause of the hay fever etc...
The treatment of one patient with apparently the same condition/diagnosis as another will more than likely be totally different. A truly unique and individualised form of healthcare!
This philosophy is fundamental in the treatment of children as well as adults.
Homeopathic treatments are always tailored to the ‘individual’ whatever age or sex, as each individual person will express his/her symptoms in their own way.
Scientists cannot yet explain the precise mechanism of action for homeopathy, but to provide evidence for the efficacy and effectiveness of homeopathy, please visit the Society of Homeopaths research page.

2 History of Homeopathy

Homeopathy has been widely used throughout the world for more than 200 years.
It was Samuel Hahnemann who was the first to say "only the like will cure the like"
.in 1796, who developed the scientific and philosophical foundations of this gentler way of healing. These scientific principles form the basis of successful homeopathic practice today.

Samuel Hahnemann discovered a different approach to the cure of the sick which he called homeopathy (from the Greek words meaning 'similar suffering'). Like Hippocrates two thousand years earlier, he realized there were two ways of treating ill health: the way of opposites, most commonly used by conventional medicine, and the way of similars.

Hahnemann discovered that diluting and successing [shaking] remedies, which homeopaths call potentization, not only produce fewer side effects but also produced better results. Homeopathic remedies are drawn from the natural world and prescribed on the principle of treating 'like with like', or the way of similars.

By the late 1800's homeopathy was very popular in the United States. By the early 1900's there were 22 homeopathic medical schools, 100 homeopathic hospitals, and over 1000 homeopathic pharmacies. Boston University, Stanford University, University of Michigan, and New York Medical College were among those educational institutions that were teaching homeopathy.

However, it was not long after this period of time [in the early 1920's] that many of the schools closed -- mostly due to the decline of homeopathy's popularity which was greatly affected by the American Medical Association. This was also around the time when modern drug companies began releasing drugs that were easy to administer to patients, a trend that also contributed to the decline of homeopathy.

Today the study of homeopathy is reestablishing itself as a successful alternative to the allopathic science with many schools that teach homeopathy both here and abroad. The Council for Homeopathic Certification is a certifying board that sets a national standard for practitioners of classical homeopathy. Successful candidates receive a certification stating that they are 'Certified in Classical Homeopathy' which help to define a national identity for the homeopathic profession.

As more and more people begin to understand the gentle nature of the homeopathic healing process, we will see an ever greater increase in the growth and acceptance of this medical science.

2 UTERINE FIBROIDS

What are fibroids ?

The outer wall of the uterus (the womb) in the woman is covered by a thick muscular layer. The presence of abnormal masses of smooth muscle tissue on the uterine wall is termed as fibroids. There may be one large fibroid or several small ones. These fibroids generally form in women who are in their 30s or 40s and regress with menopause. These fibroids may result in excessive uterine bleeding, abdominal pain, a feeling of great pressure in the lower abdomen, infertility, miscarriages or premature delivery while some women may have no symptoms associated with the fibroid. Fibroids are also termed as leimyomas or myomas.

Are there different types of fibroids ?

Fibroids are termed as “sub-serous”, “intramural” or submucous” depending upon their location in the uterine cavity. Sub-serous and intramural are the most common types of fibroids and are located beneath the outer peritoneal covering of the uterus and in the muscular uterine wall respectively. The sub-mucous fibroids are present in the uterine cavity.

How can these fibroids be detected ?

Large fibroids are easily visualized by ultra-sonography. The high frequency waves create an image of the pelvic organs and presence of an abnormal mass in the abdomen clearly indicate the presence of fibroids.


The presence of the fibroids can be confirmed by a diagnostic laparoscopy and adiagnostic hysteroscopy.

Are these fibroids cancers ?

These fibroids are not cancerous.

Can these fibroids affect a woman’s chance of conceiving ?

The presence of a fibroid by itself may not necessarily interfere with the chances of a woman conceiving but will depend upon the location and the size of the fibroid.

Can fibroids be treated with medications ?

The size of the fibroid can be temporarily reduced by the administration of a drug called gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa). Long term administration of this drug stops the pituitary from secreting hormones which in turn prevents the ovaries from secreting its hormones. The absence of ovarian hormones results in the shrinkage of the uterine fibroids. These medication cannot be used for extended periods of time and therefore GnRHa is used primarily to decrease the size of fibroid prior to surgery and in women who have become anemic due to excessive bleeding and cannot be operated to remove the fibroid.

Should these fibroids be removed ?

It is not always necessary to remove the fibroids. If a woman is not having excessive bleeding, or abdominal pain i.e., if the fibroid is not bothering her then it is not important to remove the fibroid. The decision on whether to remove the fibroid or not depends upon the location and size of the fibroid and if the woman has had any history miscarriage.


Depending upon the location of the fibroid, it can be removed either laparoscopically or hysteroscopically.

If a woman is pregnant, can the fibroid interfere with her pregnancy ?

The fibroid does not always interfere with pregnancy. However, if the fibroid is present very close to the fetus or the embryo then it can lead to a miscarriage or abortion.

0 Hyperprolactinemia

What is hyperprolactinemia ?

Prolactin is one of the hormones produced by the pituitary gland located in the brain. This hormone stimulates lactation in women and its presence in concentrations higher than normal in non-lactating women is termed as “hyperprolactinemia”.

What is the normal function of the hormone prolactin ?

Prolactin stimulates production of breast milk in women after the delivery of a child. This hormone prevents the secretion of hormones, follicle stimulating hormone and Luteinising hormone which are essential for normal growth of egg-containing follicles in the ovaries. Therefore, lactating women do not ovulate or menstruate. Presence of higher than normal concentrations of prolactin in the blood of non-lactating women affects normal ovulation in these women and can be one of the causes of infertility.

What are the tests performed to diagnose hyperprolactinemia ?

Hyperprolactinemia can be detected by estimating the concentration of the hormone “prolactin” in the blood. This blood test need not be done on an empty stomach. In cases where the concentration of prolactin in the blood is in the borderline state, it is advisable to repeat the test and see what is the average concentration of the hormone before embarking on any treatment.

Some of the women who have hyper-prolactinemia may have some breast secretions. Observations of these secretions under the microscope show the presence of fat globules.

What are the causes of hyperprolactinemia ?

High prolactin levels in the blood in non-lactating women may be due to several factors:

The prolactin producing cells in the pituitary may be hyperactive.
Certain drugs such as tranquilizers, pain killers and alcohol may cause a rise in prolactin levels.
Stress also induces hyperprolactinemia.
Prolactin producing cells in the pituitary form a cluster – a benign (non canerous) tumour resulting in excess production of prolactin. In cases of very high concentrations of prolactin in non-lactating women, a computed tomography scan needs to be carried out to rule out a pituitary adenoma.

Can hyperprolactinemia affects a woman’s fertility ?

Lactating women do not ovulate. Therefore women with hyperprolactinemia also have ovulatory disorders and therefore compromised fertility.

0 What is the role of the cervix in a normal conception ?

The cervix acts a “sentry” restricting the entry of “poor quality” sperms, cells other than sperms present in semen and the seminal plasma from entering into the uterus. It acts as a natural filter and only the highly motile sperms enter into the upper reproductive tract of the women. It also acts as a store house where the sperms are stored in the cervical mucus.

How can one diagnose whether the cervix is hostile to sperms ?

The Post-Coital Test is the most apt test to detect whether the cause of infertility in a couple is a “hostile cervix”.

What is the post-coital test ?

For this test, secretions of the cervix are studied under the microscope few hours after a couple has been advised sexual intercourse. It is very important to perform this test during the middle of the menstrual cycle. The specific detailed instructions for this test would be given to you by your doctor.

What are the reasons why a cervix can be hostile to sperms ?

In some women, the cervix “overdoes its sentry duty” and in such women the cervix not only prevents but may also damage the sperms which are trying to gain entry into the uterus.

The different reasons as to why a cervix can be hostile to sperms are:

The woman’s lower reproductive tract may be infected with microorganisms which may produce substances which are toxic to the sperms.
Some women may produced anti-sperm antibodies which bind to the sperms; immobilize them and prevent them from passing through the cervix.
The cause of cervical hostility remains unknown but a post-coital test shows the presence of non-motile sperms.

What are the treatment options available for a woman with a hostile cervix ?

It is important to identify the cause for the cervical hostility. If it is due to a microbial infections then the same can be treated with appropriate antibiotics. If it is due to anti-sperm antibodies or if the cause of a poor post-coital test is unknown then the best treatment option for infertility in such women would be intra-uterine insemination.

0 What is a fallopian tube ?

The fallopian tubes emerge from each side of the uterus and extend to the surface of the ovary. The ovarian end of each of the tubes is funnel-like which surrounds the ovary. The funnel-like end comprises many fine, delicate finger-like projections called “fimbriae”. These fimbriae “capture” the egg as soon as it is released from the ovary. If this egg meets the sperms, it gets fertilized in the tube and the early stages of embryo development takes place in the Fallopian tube. The cells of the Falopian tube provide all the nutrition needed by the egg, the sperms and the embryos.

What can go wrong with a woman’s fallopian tube ?

Damage to the fimbriae can result in them not being able to “capture” the egg and direct it into the tube. Damage to the inner linings of the cells of the tube can prevent fertilization; development of the embryo and in some instances the movement of the embryo towards the uterus resulting in an “ectopic pregnancy”. The tubes may be blocked because of a pelvic infection and this will prevent the sperm from fertilizing an egg. Endometriosis may also result in tubal blockage. The fallopian tubes are surgically severed and the ends sewn up to prevent pregnancy.

What tests can be done to determine whether a woman’s fallopian tubes are normal ?

Three types of tests are now available for evaluating the status of the fallopian tubes. These are :

Hysterosalpingography: A radio-opaque dye is injected into the uterus through the vagina and then X-rays are taken. If the tube is not blocked then the dye can be seen emerging /spilling out of the fallopian tube. If no dye emerges out of the tube then one can conclude that it is blocked.

Hysterosonosalpingography: Where large amounts of fluid is injected into the uterus through the vagina. If the tubes are not blocked then this fluid emerges out of the fimbrial end of the fallopian tubes. The entire procedure is performed under ultrasound guidance and the fluid that comes out can be seen ultra-sonographically.

Diagnostic Laparoscopy: In this procedure, a fibre-optic telescope, a laparoscope, is inserted into the abdomen through the navel. With the laparoscope, the surgeon can directly visualise the status of the fallopian tube. One can see the position of the fimbriae and also whether the tubes are open or blocked. Then a coloured dye such as methylene blue is injected through the vagina. If the tubes are open (patent) then the dye spills out of the fimbrial end of fallopian tube immediately. No dye will spill out of the fallopian tube if it is blocked. And if there is some damage to tube then the dye will spill out slowly.

Can abnormalities of the fallopian tube be corrected ?

If the fallopian tube is blocked because of tubal ligation as in cases of tubal sterilisation then it can be surgically reversed. However, whenever the blockage of the tube is a result of pelvic infection then surgical correction may not be possible. No medical therapy is known as yet to correct damaged fallopian tubes.

What are the options available for women with damaged fallopian tubes to bear a child ?

In women where there is a pathological damage to the fallopian tube then surgical correction of the tube is not possible. In such women the best option for bearing a child is in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

0 What is endometriosis?

The inner lining of the uterus is called as the “endometrium”. Every month, in response to the hormones estradiol and progesterone produced by the ovary, this lining forms into a “bed” of cells. If the egg has been fertilized by the sperms then the resultant embryo attaches or implants on the endometrium. In case, the egg is not fertilized in that month then this lining of the uterus is shed resulting in menstrual bleeding.

In some women, the endometrium grows at places other than in the uterus. The endometrium can be present near or on the ovaries, the fallopian tubes or any other part of the abdomen. There is no outlet for the endometrium formed at locations others than within the uterus and this tissue accumulates within the body. Such a condition is called as endometriosis.

What is the cause of endometriosis ?

The exact cause of endometriosis is not yet known. There are a number of theories which have been postulated to explain this condition.

It is postulated that in women who have anomalies of the reproductive tract, retrograde menstruation occurs i.e., there is a backward flow of menstrual discharge. These endometrial cells implant on the ovaries or any part of the pelvic cavity where is grows and regresses every month in response to the menstrual changes.

It has also been thought that endometriosis may have a genetic origin as women whose mothers or sisters who suffer from endometriosis are more prone to it.

What are the symptoms ?

Many women with endometriosis may not have any symptoms. The type of symptoms and their intensity depends upon the location of the endometriotic tissue and the extent to which the disease has spread. However, the most common symptoms associated with endometriosis are:

severe cramps during or prior to menstruation.

pain during intercourse

some women with endometriosis may complain of vaginal bleeding at irregular intervals.

Infertility could be a result of endomtroisis.

How is it diagnosed?

The diagnosis of endometriosis cannot be made on the basis of the patients symptoms alone and needs to be confirmed by a diagnostic laparoscopy.

Laparoscopy is a minor surgical procedure by which a laparoscope (a thin telescope) is inserted into the abdomen through the navel. This enables the surgeon to directly visualize the reproductive organs. The presence of endometriosis and the extent to which it has spread can be gauged by the surgeon. Whether the endometriosis is deep or superficial and the extent of adhesions it has caused is determined and the endometriosis is scored as minimal, mild, moderate or severe.

Can it cause infertility?

Endometriosis on its own does not necessarily cause infertility. However, the endometriotic tissues can hinder conception. Endometriosis may cause adhesions around the ovary and the fallopian tube. These adhesions may interfere with the release of the eggs from the ovary; they may interfere with the capturing of the eggs by the fallopian tube. In such instances, endometriosis may be a cause of infertility.

Can it be treated with medications ?

Three different types of medications are available for the treatment of endometriosis. Endometrial tissue, be it at its natural site in the uterus, or the extra-uterine location of endometrial tissue in patients with endometriosis, is under the control of the hormones produced by the ovary. The aim of medical treatment is to prevent the secretion of hormones by the ovaries or negate their effect. In all these three types of medical treatment of endometriosis, menstruation ceases as long as the woman is on medication and the symptoms of endometriosis can be overcome. The three types of medications currently available are:

Oral contraceptive pills can be taken continuously without waiting for a withdrawal bleed.

Danazol. This drug leads to a drop in the levels of the hormone estradiol in the blood and prevents the proliferation of the endometrial implants. Small patches of endometriosis can be treated successfully with Danazol.

Gonadotropin releasing Hormone analogs (GnRHa). These are the newest class of hormones that have been used to treat endometriosis. This drug creates a pseudo-state of menopause and as long as the woman is on GnRHa treatment, she produce negligible amounts of reproductive hormones. In the absence of reproductive hormones in the body, the endometrial lining becomes very thin.

All these medications have several side effects and need to be taken only under the supervision of a doctor.

Can endometriosis be treated surgically?

Endometriosis can also be surgically treated. If the endometrial implants are very large then it is advisable to surgically remove these implants. This is generally done under laparoscopic visualisation. The endometrial implants are “cauterised” or “ablated” with a mild degree of electrical current. This procedure should be performed only by a well trained endoscopic surgeon so that no part of the reproductive tract is damaged.

What are the other options of treating infertility in spite of endometriosis.

In women who have endometriosis and are infertile but do not suffer from any other symptoms of endometriosis then their problem can be treated by any of the assisted reproductive technologies. If her fallopian tubes are not blocked then she can be treated by intra-uterine insemination or gamete intra-fallopian transfer. If the tubes are blocked or are unhealthy then she can be treated by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.
