Painful and prolonged menses 10760...India
A 50-year-old female was suffering from painful and prolonged (lasting > 5 days) periods for four years since 2018. She managed the pain with Primolut-N (hormonal-based) tablets, as prescribed by her doctor. In spite of this, the pain recurred during every cycle. In 2019, the doctor diagnosed it as adenomyosis and started her on hormonal therapy to stop the menses. This she took for six months but it did not work. The doctor now prescribed another medicine and it only gave temporary pain relief during menses. All this created much anxiety in her, although her thyroid and BP were normal. On 17 Oct 2022, she was given:
CC8.6 Menopause + CC8.7 Menses frequent + CC8.8 Menses irregular + CC15.1 Mental & Emotional tonic…TDS but 6TD during painful menses
She did not take any allopathic medicine and there was 90% reduction in pain during the next two cycles and the menses lasted five days. On 30 Dec 2022 as she became pain-free the dosage was reduced to OD. By Feb 2023, her menses were totally painless lasting 3 to 4 days and the anxiety was gone too.
Though she stopped coming for a refill, as of June 2023 she continues to be fine.
