        abstract = {Background:  Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) is a common inflammatory condition affecting the female reproductive organs, leading to chronic pelvic pain, menstrual irregularities, and infertility. Conventional treatments primarily involve antibiotics, but homeopathic remedies like Sepia officinalis have been used to manage PID symptoms effectively. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Sepia in the treatment of PID in women of reproductive age.  Objective:  To assess the effectiveness of Sepia officinalis in reducing the symptoms and complications of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease in women of reproductive age.  Methods:  A prospective observational study was conducted on women diagnosed with PID between the ages of 18 and 45. Participants were treated with individualized doses of Sepia based on homeopathic principles. Symptom severity was recorded using a standardized pelvic pain and discomfort scale at baseline, 4 weeks, and 12 weeks. Clinical improvement was assessed based on reduction in pelvic pain, menstrual irregularities, leucorrhoea, and general well-being.  Results:  Preliminary findings indicate significant improvement in symptoms among the participants. A notable reduction in pelvic pain, vaginal discharge, and menstrual irregularities was observed in the majority of cases. No adverse effects were reported. Comparative analysis showed that Sepia helped in improving overall reproductive health and quality of life in affected women.  Conclusion:  The study suggests that Sepia officinalis is an effective homeopathic remedy for managing Pelvic Inflammatory Disease in women of reproductive age. Further controlled trials are recommended to establish its role as an alternative or complementary treatment for PID.},
