Homœopathic Links DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1774387Uterine fibroids are common findings in women and represent benign smooth muscle tumours of the uterus. These tumors are very frequently encountered in clinical practice. Homeopathy offers a more favourable response to such conditions in addition to surgical interventions. A 30-year-old female patient visited our outpatient department with complaints of dyspareunia, which is characterized by painful sexual intercourse and abdominal distension. Ultrasonography confirmed her diagnosis of uterine fibroids. Following comprehensive case assessment and repertorization, the patient was initially prescribed individualized homeopathic medicine Natrum muriaticum 200c, followed by other medications as needed. Within approximately a year of homeopathic treatment, the patient's condition began to improve. The Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy (MONARCH) tool was employed to evaluate the causal relationship between homeopathic intervention and clinical outcome. A MONARCH score of +7 indicated that the clinical improvement was likely attributed to the homeopathic treatment, which aligns with ultrasonographic findings obtained before and after treatment.
