Abstract
Ovarian cysts are common gynecological problems encountered by gynecologists in their
day-to-day practice. They are benign growths arising from the ovary and occur in the
reproductive age group. Conventional system of medicine usually opts for surgical
procedures in such cases. Homoeopathic system of medicine is a specialized system
that believes in individualization. This article reports five cases of suffering from
ovarian cysts, who reported at Dr. D.P. Rastogi Central Research Institute, Noida,
Uttar Pradesh, India. All the five cases were treated successfully with individualized
homoeopathic medicines. Each patient received individualized homoeopathic medicine
selected on the basis of the totality of symptoms using synthesis repertory with the
help of RADAR software. Pre and post treatment ultrasongraphy USG reports were kept
as evidence. The assessment of causal attribution of homeopathic treatment effect
was performed using the Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy (MONARCH). Marked
improvement was observed in all five cases, with complete resolution of the cysts
along with symptomatic relief, which was evident by USG reports. The MONARCH scores
were +9/13, +7/13, +8/13, +9/13, and +7/13, which indicate a positive causal attribution
of homeopathy in relieving the symptoms. This case series suggests a significant role
of individualized homeopathic medicines in the resolution of ovarian cysts and associated
symptoms. The results obtained from this case series are encouraging.
