Follow up details:
The patient first came for a follow-up on 30th November 2012. After the administration of homeopathic medicines the size of the fibroadenomas were stabilized and their further growth was halted. However there was a mild pain in the right breast before menses which was aggravated by pressure. Her menses were delayed. No new lump was found. The presription was upgraded to Conium 30, Silicea 30 and Phytolacca 30.
She continued the treatment with regular follow-ups and medicines were revised every 6 weeks as per the her feedback.
The patient reported to Dr. Shah on 30th March 2014. The bilateral breast pain had considerably reduced. She had pain in few spots in the breasts bilaterally radiating to the armpits. This time her menses were delayed. The previous prescription was continued.
Patient reported on 2nd January 2015 for follow-up. The bilateral breast pain had reduced by eighty percent. There was only a dull aching pain that she experienced only before menses. No swelling was present. She was prescribed accordingly.
Patient reported on 2th May 2015. She reported that she only had minimal pain in the breasts bilaterally. She couldn’t feel any lumps or swelling in the breasts. She had performed a mammography on 18th April 2015 which was suggestive of multiple small bilateral breast fibroadenomata. As compared to her first mamography, the size of the fibroadenoma had reduced considerably.
She continued the treatment for another year, after which her complaints had all disappeared. Her menses too were regularized. Moreover, she had minimal pain in the breasts bilaterally.
Remarks: This case depicts the best example wherein one can understand the fact that post surgical recurrences of fibroadenomas can also be controlled and after a consistent follow-up with homoeopathy can be miraculously cured.
