And, two local surgeons in Agartala had suggested surgery. She approached us, as she was not comfortable undergoing surgery.

Her symptoms included chronic constipation for many years. She had continuous pain in the lower abdomen on the right and left sides for the last three years. The pain in the abdomen was often present and it used to shift towards the upper abdomen as well as to the back. She was suffering from a very severe pain near the tailbone.

Her case was studied in detail by Dr. Shah. This was a surgical case. Usually, Dr. Shah would avoid such cases. However, the patient was hesitating for surgery and was willing to give a fair trial to homeopathy. Dr. Shah suggested that he would give medicine and review after six days; if the improvement begins, the treatment would be continued.
