Irregular periods and stress 11633...India
A 16-year-old girl was experiencing irregular periods since her menarche three years ago. She got her periods once every 2 to 3 months, with normal bleeding and no pain. Also, for the past six months, she had been very tense and tired. A day before her exams, she started having nausea and did not sleep well. This continued until the end of her exams. The girl’s mother said that she did well at school and these symptoms were uncharacteristic of her. She did not have periods in the past 2½ months and was not taking any treatment. On 18 Aug 2021, she consulted the practitioner who gave:
CC8.8 Menses irregular + CC12.2 Child tonic + CC17.3 Brain & Memory tonic...TDS
After two days on 20 Aug, her menses started. On 26 Aug she reported that she had been feeling energetic and relaxed ever since starting the remedy and her 10-year-old constipation was gone! Earlier she had made no mention of this to the practitioner. Her next two menstrual cycles were regular and normal. She continued to feel energetic with no trace of stress or anxiety before and during the exams. On 28 Oct, she tapered down the remedy and stopped it on 15 Nov 2021. As of Oct 2022 her menses continue to be regular and she is stress-free and doing exceedingly well at school.
