        abstract = {Background: Menstrual disorders, including dysmenorrhea, PCOS, and irregular cycles, significantly impact the quality of life (QoL) for women in the early reproductive age group (18–35 years). Conventional treatments often provide only symptomatic relief and may have side effects. Homoeopathy offers a holistic, individualized approach that aims to address the root cause. This study evaluates the efficacy of the homoeopathic similimum in managing these disorders. 
Objective: To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of individualized homoeopathic treatment in reducing symptoms and improving the quality of life in women aged 18 to 35 years suffering from various menstrual disorders. 
Methods:Female patients aged 18 to 35 yrs. were taken for study. A prospective, open-label clinical study conducted over period of 6 to 12 months. Female patients with diagnosed menstrual disorders were selected through random sampling. Individualized remedies were prescribed based on the totality of symptoms, Primary outcomes were measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain and the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MDQ) or WHOQOL-BREF for well-being at baseline and after three to six menstrual cycles. 
Results: Preliminary findings indicate a significant reduction in mean symptom scores. In similar clinical cohorts, up to 90% of participants showed "good" to "marked" improvement in symptoms such as irregular flow, spasmodic pain, and premenstrual mood swings. Statistical analysis using paired t-tests often reveals a p-value of < 0.05, indicating clinical significance. Associated symptoms like acne and fatigue also showed notable improvement.},
