This case study is about the efficacy of Homoeopathic medicines in treating the infertility caused due to Uterine Fibroid, which is a most common pelvic tumor in women. Day by day, case of uterine Fibroids are increasing, where they are causing difficulty in conceive or leading to miscarriages. Lower abdominal pain, irregular menstruation and abnormal uterine bleeding are other common symptoms. While conventional medicine does not offer any satisfactory treatment except surgical removal of Myomas (Myomectomy) or in extreme condition, complete removal of Uterus (hysterectomy), Homoeopathy is a good alternative for the treatment of Myomas. At, Care 'N' Cure Homoeopathic Health center, Delhi, we have treated and still treating many cases of uterine fibroids by homoeopathic medicines for last more than 13 years. Out of them, around 70% have shown very good results. Most of them were referred for surgery by other doctors, but well selected homoeopathic medicine and proper counseling, leads the complete disappearance of fibroids. Duration of treatment varied from case to case depending on the size and total numbers of Myomas. Outcome of our study on uterine fibroid is very encouraging. Some of the patients who were childless due to large and multiple uterine fibroid got conceived with the help of homoeopathy. These results are very encouraging and giving us the more confidence to work in the field of infertility

Uterine fibroids are commonest benign tumor of the uterus. Histologically this tumor is composed of smooth muscle and fibrous connective tissue, so named as uterine leiomyoma, myoma or fibroma. The cause for some of the most common gynecological problems among women presenting to gynecology emergency and outpatient departments. They are often asymptomatic but they can cause a multitude of symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding, a feeling of pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence or retention, or pain. Uterine fibroids are a major cause of morbidity in women of a reproductive age (and sometimes even after menopause). There are several factors that are attributed to underlie the development and incidence of these common tumors, but this further corroborates their relatively unknown etiology. The most likely presentation of fibroids is by their effect on the woman’s menstrual cycle and pelvic pressure symptom.

Uterine fibroid is considered as the most common pelvic tumor in women during their reproductive years. Symptomatic uterine fibroids can cause abnormal uterine bleeding, anemia, pressure symptoms and fertility issues and also have a significant influence on patient’s quality of life. These are the most common indications for hysterectomy worldwide. We report a 43-year-old woman with abnormal vaginal bleeding and dysmenorrhea due to large size of uterine leiomyoma which was candidate for myomectomy. Due to her virginity she couldn’t undergo uterine surgery. She preferred to use non-surgical treatments and presented to our traditional Persian medicine outpatient clinic. In order to control menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea, dry cupping therapy was recommended to her for three times a week. After a period of two months, dysmenorrhea and vaginal bleeding were decreased noticeably. In addition, a significant reduction in tumor size was observed. This case shows dry cupping therapy can be effective and safe in decreasing fibroid-related symptoms like dysmenorrhea and excess bleeding and also the size of fibroid. It seems that this method can be integrated with current therapeutic approaches. However, further clinical studies need to establish the efficacy and safety of dry cupping therapy for the management of uterine fibroids.

Spontaneous Expulsion

Uterine leiomyomas are benign tumors that develop from smooth muscle tissue and are present in up to 77% of women in menacme. They are often asymptomatic but can cause pelvic pain, compression, abnormal uterine bleeding, and degeneration. We present the first case report of a perimenopausal woman who exhibited complete and spontaneous expulsion of uterine fibroids without embolization or use of medication. She complained of a mass extruding from the vaginal orifice associated with bleeding and pain for a couple of hours. The anatomopathological findings showed a myomatous lesion. Complete expulsion of a uterine fibroid is a rare condition that may be associated with profuse hemorrhage and can pose a risk to the patient. When it occurs during perimenopause, it can mimic several clinical conditions. Therefore, gynecologists must remain alert to make the correct diagnosis and treatment.

We report a rare case of anemia and thrombocytopenia as a result of uterine fibroid and adenomyosis, complicated by immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). Symptoms were presented as menorrhagia and metrorrhagia in a 34-year-old African American woman, who was later treated with blood and platelet transfusion and iron therapy with steroids. Uterine fibroids are commonly found to cause hematologic disturbances such as anemia and reactive thrombocytosis and, less commonly, thrombocytopenia. Moreover, such hematologic disturbances are secondary to heavy and irregular uterine bleeding, which is typically presented. A previous uterine fibroid diagnosis was made and reconfirmed by pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound to exclude other locoregional pathologies. ITP was suggested by Coombs test and several other serologies, leading to confirmation via bone marrow biopsy. In a previous case study, we reported positive responses in hemotecrit and platelet count after the introduction of iron therapy to an iron-depleted middle-aged female presenting severe anemia and thrombocytopenia. 1

Uterine fibroid tissues are often compared to their matched myometrium in an effort to understand their pathophysiology, but it is not clear whether the myometria of uterine fibroid patients represent truly non-disease control tissues. We analyzed the transcriptomes of myometrial samples from non-fibroid patients (M) and compared them with fibroid (F) and matched myometrial (MF) samples to determine whether there is a phenotypic difference between fibroid and non-fibroid myometria. Multidimensional scaling plots revealed that M samples clustered separately from both MF and F samples. A total of 1169 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (false discovery rate < 0.05) were observed in the MF comparison with M. Overrepresented Gene Ontology terms showed a high concordance of upregulated gene sets in MF compared to M, particularly extracellular matrix and structure organization. Gene set enrichment analyses showed that the leading-edge genes from the TGFβ signaling and inflammatory response gene sets were significantly enriched in MF. Overall comparison of the three tissues by three-dimensional principal component analyses showed that M, MF, and F samples clustered separately from each other and that a total of 732 DEGs from F vs. M were not found in the F vs. MF, which are likely understudied in the pathogenesis of uterine fibroids and could be key genes for future investigation. These results suggest that the transcriptome of fibroid-associated myometrium is different from that of non-diseased myometrium and that fibroid studies should consider using both matched myometrium and non-diseased myometrium as controls.

IntroductionPsychiatric disorders frequently occur in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) (70%). This combination further reduces the quality of life of patients as diagnosis is difficult and therapeutic opportunities are often missed.ObjectivesThe aim of this case study is to show the possible association between TLE and psychiatric semiology and its therapeutic implications.MethodsPresentation of the clinical case of Mr BH who experienced psychosis like symptoms, was finally diagnosed with TLE and put under anti-epileptic drugs.ResultsMr BH, aged 22, with no family or personal history, was admitted for aggressive behavior, self-harm, pyromania, and depression. Three years prior to onset of psychiatric symptoms, he reports episodes of pulsatile- left-temporal headache followed by hypertonic movements of the neck. Symptoms were intermittently followed by total amnesia or impaired consciousness. The patient explained symptoms by an inner presence that he called “his twin” and to whom he attributed those behaviors contrary to his will. The discovery of bilateral hippocampal atrophy in magnetic resonance imaging with a normal electroencephalography suggested the diagnosis of TLE with post-ictal psychotic disorders. Patient was put initially on diazepam and olanzapine with partial improvement. Association of valproate led to progressive but then complete disappearance of symptoms and so confirmed our diagnosis.ConclusionsIt is often difficult to attach psychiatric symptoms to epilepsy. The diagnosis should be done on a set of clinical, radiological and electrical arguments.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Objectives: Our aim was to study the prevalence of isthmocele in cases with previous cesarean section scar presented to El Shatby maternity university hospital and its association with gynecological complications. Material and Methods: After approval of the ethics committee of Alexandria faculty of medicine, a sample of 300 patients delivered by cesarean section since 6 months or more presented by one or more of the following symptoms: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) dysmenorrhea, secondary infertility, and lower abdominal pain were selected from the gynecology clinic of El Shatby maternity university hospital. All patients were subjected to history taking, clinical, and gynecological examination. Post-menstrual 2D transvaginal ultrasonography was done. Where the niche or isthmocele was seen as triangular or dome- shaped echo-free space. Data were collected and entered to the computer using Statistical Package for the Social Science program for statistical analysis. Results: Niche was found in 44 cases. Most of them were symptomatic. Duration from the last (CS) was statistically significant. Symptoms were related to number of previous cesarean sections. Conclusion: The incidence of post-cesarean section niche in El Shatby Maternity hospital was 14.67%. Most common symptoms were AUB and dyspareunia.

Uterine fibroids is an extremely common tumor of the female reproductive system, among whose manifestations are infertility, spontaneous abortions, incorrect fetal position, placenta previa, premature delivery, bleeding during and after delivery, and an increased risk of cesarean section. According to the literature, myomas are changing in size during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. Aim of the study. To assess the dynamics of uterine fibroid size change during pregnancy and the effect of an existing uterine fibroid on the course of pregnancy and labor. Materials and methods. Outpatient records of patients aged 24 to 45 years (mean age 33.36 ± 4.63 years) who were diagnosed with Pregnancy and uterine fibroids from 2016 to 2021 at Verum Medical Center were evaluated (n = 57). The size of the fibroids (volume and diameter) before, during (I or II prenatal screening) and after pregnancy (first pelvic ultrasound after delivery) was used for statistical analysis. Forty-one of the 57 patients had pelvic ultrasound before, during, and after pregnancy and were included in the statistical analysis of changes in uterine myoma size. Results. Among the patients included in the statistical analysis, uterine fibroids increased in volume by 194.38% ± 86.9 (40.98% ± 18.4 in diameter) during pregnancy, and decreased by 53.98% ± 14.93 in diameter and by 54.28% ± 29.62 of baseline in the postpartum period. A significant number of fibroids (39.47%) did undergo involutionary changes and were not visualized in the first postpartum ultrasound. The live birth rate was high at 90% (64% of deliveries were through natural childbirth and 26% through cesarean section). Conclusions. There was no effect of intramural, intramural-subserosal, and subserosal uterine fibroids with an average diameter of £20 mm on pregnancy and live birth in women. A great amount of uterine fibroids nearly triple in size during pregnancy, but after delivery they return to their original size and even halve in size. This can be regarded as a confirmation of the absence of a negative effect of pregnancy, or, possibly, a positive effect on uterine fibroid size, which requires further investigation.
