  • Abstract:
  • Background Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting women of reproductive age. It is characterized by menstrual irregularities, hyperandrogenism, obesity, acne, hirsutism, and infertility. Homoeopathy aims at individualized treatment based on totality of symptoms and constitutional characteristics. Objective: To evaluate the role of individualized homoeopathic medicines in the management of polycystic ovarian syndrome. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted on 30 clinically diagnosed cases of PCOS attending the outpatient department. Patients were followed for 12 months. Assessment parameters included menstrual regularity, body mass index (BMI), acne, hirsutism, ovarian morphology, and overall improvement. Data were analyzed statistically using percentages and Chi-square test. Results: Among 30 patients, maximum cases belonged to the age group 21–30 years (56.7%). Menstrual irregularity was observed in 90% cases. Twenty-five patients (83.3%) showed marked to moderate improvement after individualized homoeopathic treatment. Significant improvement was observed in menstrual regularity, acne, and ultrasonographic findings. Conclusion: Individualized homoeopathic medicines were associated with improvement in clinical symptoms and quality of life among women with PCOS. Larger controlled studies are recommended.
