Introduction

        All pathological vegetations, cases with irreversible pathology are amenable to dynamic application, quite effective by miasmatic approach, which also shortens the duration. Here we present a case treated by Dr.R.Gnanasambandam, Director, AKP Homoeopathic Clinical Research Centre,Chennai.

        A female-aged 33 years, who is longing for a child since 10 years consulted me and presented the investigations confirming a large fibroid. Her husband’s seminal analysis was normal. Even though surgery was insisted, they were not preferred, as it would complicate conception.

        She attained her menarche at the age of thirteenth year. Onwards she had regular periods with four days duration at the interval of 28-35 days. She had experienced pain sometimes before onset. After marriage, she underwent regular check up and the ultra sonogram revealed fibroid.

        The space-occupying lesion had not give any associated symptoms like, pain, profuse bleeding or pressure symptoms on bladder or rectum. She experienced some dragging sensation and abdomen became bellious which made others putting a question. “Are you pregnant now?”

        Her past history revealed frequent fever with cold and she suffered from nasal polyps. Had chickenpox at the age of ten, had minor injuries treated with topical application. Had received vaccination for all communicable diseases. Her family history revealed Diabetes Mellitus. Her maternal grand mother had breast tumours and her cousin uterine tumour. Paternal grandfather had some tumour at the back of his shoulder. Her treatment history revealed many consultations and treatment from modern and other alternative systems of medicine.
