Abstract

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder that affects reproductive-age women worldwide. Conventional treatments for PCOS often include hormonal therapy and lifestyle modifications, but these approaches may have limitations and side effects. In this scenario, Homeopathy offers an alternative approach to managing PCOS, by focusing on individualized treatment. This pilot study aimed to explore the efficacy of individualized homoeopathic remedies in the treatment of PCOS. 10 cases were randomly selected from the OPD of Sarada Krishna Homoeopathic Medical College Hospital. Based on the inclusion criteria all the cases were selected for the study and the diagnosis was based on clinical presentations. Those ten patients diagnosed with PCOS were treated with the homeopathic remedies over a period of three months. Among the ten patients, Pulsatilla, Calcarea carbonicum, Thuja occidentalis were given in 200th potency. The results demonstrated significant improvements in PCOS symptoms, suggesting the potential of the commonly indicated remedies as part of a comprehensive PCOS management strategy.
