PELVIS INFLAMMATORY DISEASE HOMOETHY | HOMOEOPATHY FOR PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE

119

Usually contracted through sexual contact, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection of the female reproductive organs that can harm the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other parts of the female reproductive system. It can also cause excruciating pain and make it difficult to get pregnant.

Symptoms

Possible symptoms include:

Pain that may be extremely intense, especially in the pelvic region

· Fever

· Fatigue

Spots or bleeding between periods

· Irregular menstruation

Backache and rectus discomfort

· Pain during sexual intercourse

· Unusual vaginal discharge

· Frequent urination

· Vomiting

Causes

Chlamydia or gonorrhea infections, which are typically acquired during unprotected sex, are the most frequent bacteria that cause PID, although many other types of bacteria can also cause PID.

Bacteria can enter the reproductive tract rarely during the insertion of an intrauterine device, a type of long-acting birth control, or any medical procedure that involves inserting medical instruments into the uterus. Less frequently, bacteria can enter the reproductive tract anytime the normal barrier created by the cervix is disturbed. This can happen during menstruation, after childbirth, miscarriage, or abortion.

Risk factors

PID risk could be influenced by a variety of variables, such as:

Having sex with a woman who is under 25 years old.

· Having multiple sexual partners

Having sex with someone who is involved with multiple people sexually

Using an unprotected sexual activity

Douching frequently, which can mask symptoms and disturb the ratio of beneficial to harmful bacteria in the vagina.

Having a sexually transmitted infection or pelvic inflammatory disease in the past

Complications

Scar tissue and abscesses may form in the reproductive tract as a result of untreated pelvic inflammatory disease, which can harm the reproductive organs permanently.

This damage could have the following complications:

·Ectopic pregnancy:Untreated PID can result in the formation of scar tissue in the fallopian tubes, which prevents fertilized eggs from passing through the tubes and causes the egg to implant in the fallopian tube, leading to an ectopic pregnancy, which can result in massive, life-threatening bleeding and necessitate immediate medical attention.

·Infertility:Infertility, or the inability to conceive, may result from damage to the reproductive organs, and the risk of infertility rises sharply with postponing PID treatment.

·Chronic pelvic pain:Pain during sexual activity and ovulation can be brought on by pelvic inflammatory disease, scarring in the fallopian tubes, and other pelvic organs. These symptoms can last for months or years.

PID can result in an abscess, which is a collection of pus, to form in the reproductive tract, most frequently affecting the ovaries and fallopian tubes, but they can also form in the uterus or in other pelvic organs. If an abscess is left untreated, it will grow into a life-threatening infection.

Prevention

There are some ways to reduce the risk that PID will become a serious condition:

Regular screening, particularly for those who engage in multiple sex relationships

Ensuring that sexual partners undergo STD and infection screenings

Refraining from douching as this ups the risk

Practicing safe sex, using a cervical cap or condom.

Avoiding sexual activity too soon after giving birth, having a pregnancy terminated, or experiencing a miscarriage

HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES

There are many effective medicines available in homoeopathy for pelvic inflammatory disease, but the choice depends on the patient’s uniqueness, taking into account mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical factors. Homoeopathy is a rapidly expanding system that is practiced all over the world. Its strength lies in its evident effectiveness as it takes a holistic approach towards the sick individual.

ARSENIC ALB:Acrid, acrid, burning, offensive, thin leucorrhea, worst with least effort, great weakness, and stitching pain in the pelvis extending down the thigh. Burning in the ovarian region.

KREOSOTUM:Violent itching in the labia, leucorrhea that is yellow, acrid, and smells like green corn, which is worse between periods, bleeding after sex, violent pain during sex, burning in certain areas, and discharge of dark blood the next day.

LACHESIS:The pain in the uterus and the ovaries usually subsides after menstruation.

MEDORRHINUM:Women who have severe menstrual colic frequently urinate during their periods, have offensive, profuse, dark, clotted, difficult-to-wash-out menstrual stains, and have leucorrhea, which has a thin, acrid, excoriating odor.

MERC SOL:PID with greenish, bloody, excoriating leucorrhea, a feeling of rawness in certain areas, stinging pain in the ovaries, itching and burning that gets worse after urinating, and better with cold water washing.

PHOSPHORUS:Leucorrhea instead of menses, leucorrhea that is profuse, smarting, corrosive, and has metritis. PID with a small amount of uterine bleeding in between periods. Menses that are too early and scant, but last for too long.

SABINA:Heavy menstrual bleeding, too-early, too-prolific menses, gushing of hot, watery blood mixed with dark clots, shooting pain up the vagina, pain from the sacrum to the pubis, worsened by the slightest motion, itchy, corrosive, offensive leucorrhea after menses, and inflammation of the ovaries and uterus after childbirth are all symptoms of menstruation.
