Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a major etiological factor in cervical dysplasia and related gynecological disorders. Even after definitive surgical management such as total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO), HPV persistence remains a clinical concern, as residual or recurrent dysplasia may occur. We report on the case of a patient with high-risk HPV infection who initially presented with abnormal uterine bleeding and was diagnosed with cervical dysplasia. She underwent a robotic hysterectomy with BSO. Despite surgery, the patient experienced recurrent HPV positivity and reappearance of genital warts, underscoring the importance of continued surveillance in HPV-positive individuals. The persistent disease phase was accompanied by significant psychological distress, including anxiety and fear of incurability. The patient was subsequently treated with homeopathic medicine, which resulted in the successful resolution of symptoms and improvement in mental well-being. This highlights the potential role of complementary approaches in managing HPV-related disease and associated psychological burden. This case emphasizes that HPV infection may persist even after hysterectomy, necessitating ongoing monitoring for recurrence. It also illustrates the integration of homeopathy as a supportive therapeutic modality in addressing both physical and psychological aspects of HPV-related disease.
Background Fever is the hallmark of efficient acute inflammatory response, which may be disrupted in chronic inflammatory conditions. The "continuum theory" proposes that the return of acute inflammatory states with high fever predicts improvement in chronic diseases during treatment. Our objective was to investigate the observation made, during classical homeopathic treatment, that such an association exists between chronic inflammation and efficient acute inflammation. Methods In a case-control study, the reports of patients diagnosed with chronic inflammatory conditions with at least 6 months of follow-up under homeopathic treatment were retrospectively sampled from homeopathic medical practices from Greece, India, Romania and Russia. Twenty patients who improved under homeopathic treatment and 20 age-matched controls of those who did not improve were selected. The occurrence of common acute infectious diseases with fever during the follow-up period was investigated. Results The average age of the cases and controls was 28.4 (SD: 16.64) and 27.9 (SD: 17.19) years respectively. 18/20 cases and 4/20 controls developed common infectious diseases with fever. Cramer's V co-efficient value was found to be 0.551 ( p < 0.01), indicating that improvement was more in patients with fever than without. Odds ratio of improving with respect to development of acute infectious diseases was 36.0 (95% CI: 5.8 to 223.5). The binary logistic regression model indicated significant contribution of occurrence of acute infections with fever as a predictor for improvement in chronic inflammatory disease. Conclusions Classical homeopathic clinical observations indicate an association between chronic inflammatory status in the body and the ability to mount efficient acute inflammation. In this case-control study, the occurrence of common infections with fever during treatment heralded improvement in chronic inflammatory disease. Further powered studies are necessary to substantiate this finding.
Warts are one of the common dermatological disorders caused by human papilloma viruses encountered in our day to day life. These are cutaneous or mucosal infection needs proper care and treatment to prevent its transmission and complete healing. Although mostly warts are dealt with the therapeutic approach, i.e. on the basis of its peculiar type and location but it can even be successfully treated by constitutional approach. This article is regarding a case of warts treated successfully with Rhus Tox followed by Ferrum Met selected as the simillimum and proved its effectiveness in a short period of time.
Tinea corporis is a superficial fungal infection of the skin that can affect any part of the body. It is commonly called ‘ringworm’ as it presents with characteristic ring-shaped lesions. Homeopathic system of medicine is more effective in treating this type of case and also helps to prevent the recurrence. This is a case of a 47 year old female patient came with complaint of Itching with reddish eruptions over skin (axilla, buttocks) since one year. The case was diagnosed with Tinea corporis and successfully treated with LACHESIS MUTUS 200 one dose for 2 weeks and with Sac Lac on the next visit and the patient complaint got reduced.
