Unwanted facial hair growth over chin, upper lip,
chest, abdomen, fore arms and legs are very common
features of polycystic ovarian disease. Serum testosterone
elevated in these victims and hair apparatus is stimulated.
Even though the external measures hide the situation,
internal problem lies in the body and hair tend to
grow thicker. Homoeopathy roots the basic problem
to regularize the serum testosterone level. Gradually
the hair growth recedes and the other allied problems
also find solution together. It can be illustrated
with a case.
Clinical Illustration
A Girl aged 23 years
was suffering from unwanted facial hair growth since
three years. She also had irregularity in periods
since six years. Her mother took her to a Gynaecologist,
she advised Hormone therapy to regularize periods.
Meanwhile she had been asked to undergo a pelvic scan,
which studied tiny follicles on both sides of ovaries
giving impression as polycystic ovaries. Her hormonal
count for testosterone was very high. They were fed
up with the treatment and finally approached homoeopathic
treatment.
After a thorough study,
the serum testosterone was again analyzed which gave
the reading as 727ng/ml and the scan study for pelvis
also suggested poly cystic ovarian disease. The hormone
level is as high in male who can produce hair growth
during teen age. She took homoeopathic treatment and
underwent palliative measures like bleaching to avoid
social embarrassment. When she resumed her periods
back another blood study and scan was taken. The blood
serum testosterone level was 0.43ng/ml and pelvic
sonogram stated that her ovaries were normal
After a period of three
or four months she informed that “My hair growth
has considerably reduced and I go for bleaching occasionally.
Now my periods are also normal .She discontinued the
medicine after few months
