Suggest Homoeopathic Treatment For Fibroadenosis

Posted on Mon, 9 Feb 2015

Question: Respected Doctor, I was suffering from face & limbs swelling, whole body pain and itching, skin rash, mouth ulcer, swallowing difficulty, restricted body movement( start from middle of July last). After no improvement by anti-allergic medicines, vitamins & anti-inflammatory/pain relief tablets as prescribed by Specilist Physicians/Dermatologist, rather conditions had gradually deteriorated. Doctors of Internal Medicine /Dermatology/ENT) then suspected Scleroderma or MCTD or SLE. All pathological/biochemical/serological tests and whole abdomen USG were normal, RA was negative. All auto-immune tests turned out negative done three times in interval of 15 days. Only some mild low Hb%, huge Vitamin D deficiency Eosonophil/ESR/Absolute Eosonophilic Count were very high and Calcium deficiency. After suffering a lot for about 2 months in serious condition I was admitted in a Specialized Hospital(26.09.2014) and remained for 24 days. A group of doctors(Medicine/Neurology/Endocrinology/Dermatology/General Surgeon) have treated me by Pulse Methyle Pednisolone Inj I.V. 1g each for 5 days(30.09.2014 to 04.10.2014) then oral tablets of Prednisolne 40mg Tablet and number of medicines for Vitamin D, Calcium, Thyroid(Thyroxine 50mcg), Anti-biotic, Rehydrating Skin Lotion, anti-allergic tablets etc. Before treatment they had done Skin Biopsy & Muscle Biopsy. They have diagnosed it as Eosonophilic Facitis. Within 5 days I was almost recovered from all symptoms. Now I am taking medicines Tablet Prednisolone 30 mg OD, CCM 1000 OD, Esomeprazole 40mg twice daily, Calcirol Granules once in a week and after one month of treatment another Tablet Azoran 50mg OD(Azathioprine) as steroid replacement therapy added. At the time in Hospital, I felt lumps in the left breast and an USG was done on 16.10.2014. Study was normal in all respect. But still now lumps exist and also in right breast. There is pain in both the breasts after pressure. No discharge of fluid from nipple or change of shape/discoloration. Lumps or knots are multiple not one. Can it be treated by Homeopathy Medicine ? Is Homeopathy Medicine permissible while I am on steriod and also non-steriod immunosuppressant ? Doctor has started to reduce dose of oral steriod. Would you kindly help me safely as much as possible ? XXXX, E-mail ID: YYYY@YYYY XXXXXXX 11.01.2015.

Brief Answer:
Homeopathy has no clinically proven benefits for fibradenosis.OC pills are the main stay of therapy.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam,

I understand your query and concern.

As per entire case study and current issue,you probably seem to have fibroadenosis/fibrocystic breast disease of the breast,which is pretty common condition in women in their 40's.

This disorder cannot be treated by Homeopathy medications.
No clinically proven results exist for the above.

This is exclusively managed though Oral contraceptive hormonal pills,NSAIDS and supportive bras.

Reduction of the intake of coffee and chocolate can also offer some benefit in certain individuals.

I advise you to consult your Gynecologist for further expert management.

Post your further queries,if any.
Thank you.

Respected Doctor, Thanks for kind advice. Once more to disturb you, do you think that this is side effect of Steroid therapy ? I shall have to be on oral steroid tablet for more couple of months as non-steroid immunosuppressant will take time to work. Both have many short/long time side effects. Azoran Tablet which has been started to replace steroid will continue for indefinite period. Would you suggest some Homeopathy medicine to guard the side effect which normaly affect liver, kidney, blood, skin and GI system ? Is there any long term treatment in Homeopathy for the immune system disorder ?

Brief Answer:
Homepathic medicines are potentially incapable of preventing the side effct

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.

I understand your concern.

This fibroadenosis is certainly not considered as a side effect of Steroids.

Fibroadenosis results from hormonal imbalance to breast tissue.

Even few NSAID'S like Ibuprofen and Diclofenac can have quick onset of action.
These NSAID'S are relatively free of side effects.

Azoran tablet is a safe drug which is capable of preventing the side effects of steroids.

Homeopathic medicines once again have no clinically proven results in preventing the side effects of steroids on various internal organs.

Likewise homeopathic medicines are neither capable of preventing/treating any known autoimmune disorder.

Thank you.

Respected Doctor,

Thanks for your reply. Today I got examined by A Gynecology Doctor and USG of both the breasts done. Right breast is normal in all respect. In left breast (III defined hypoechoic area at upper 9x3mm and lateral compartment 45 x 11mm)
found . What does it mean?

Thanks & regards.

Brief Answer:
Usually suggest abnormal growth pattern.Need biopsy for confirmation.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.

I understand your query.

Ill defined hypoechoic areas on breast are suspicious for malignancy,appearing less echogenic/darker than the surrounding normal breast tissue.

These lesions tend to look intensely black,compared to the surrounding isochechoic fat.You seem to have 2 such areas.

But malignancies can even be isoechoic or hyperechoic on breast ultrasound,so its not a hard and fast finding by any means.

Hence for accurate discrimination,a tissue examination in the form of FNAC or biopsy is required .

Thank you.
