A Case of MRKH syndrome – Uterine Agenesis

Mayer –Rokitansky – Kuster – Kauser (MRKH) Syndrome is a disorder that occurs in females and mainly affects the reproductive system. This condition causes the va-gina and uterus to be underdeveloped or absent. Affected women usually do not have any menstrual periods due to absent uterus.

This is a case of a 14yr old girl who was on my treatment for her recurrent complaints of fever, headache and weakness since her childhood. She had great improvement in her health and stamina with homoeopathy. While treating her for her acute problems over the years once I got to know through investigations that she had no uterus development at the age of 15, also with some Thalassemia (Homeopathy for Beta Thalessemia) like symptoms.

With homoeopathy her uterus developed and she started menstruating within 5-6 months of treatment and also her blood values became perfectly normal along with the usg.  She had a complete face and body transformation with the homoeopathic treatment.

Last but not the least a proper diet schedule and urinary output chart was maintained which played an important role.

The patient took “Five Phos” in water as a supplement. Five Phos is a combination of Schussler cell salts containing  Calcarea phosphorica 6x, Ferrum phosphoricum 6x, Kalium phosphorcium 6x, Magnesia phosphorica 6x and Natrum phosphorica 6x.  I also put her on beetroot juice, apple juice and anoil free and spice free diet.

Now she along with her family are my regular patients .

CASE IN DETAIL

One day in Nov2013 she came to my clinic with severe pain in abdomen, headache, thirst, restlessness, vomiting, and general burning sensations. On investigation her HB was low and she had raised bilirubin levels

I prescribed arsenic 30/every 15 minutes  (10 drops ars 30 in 150ml water). As she improved I gave it less often.  She responded well and her LFT was normal in 15 days and her symptoms were relieved.

She responded well and her LFT was normal in 15 days and her symptoms were relieved.

As she recovered from the jaundice she reported some scaly thick lesions on the nape of her neck and forehead, abdomen, arms and legs. When I saw them I could see that it was a very bad icthyosis.

She was already on arsenic 30 one teas spoon /BD

After retaking the case I prescribed Psorinum 30/1 dose stat on tip of the tongue. I prescribed Psorinum because I smelled the odor of a dead animal as soon as she sat beside me. I asked her about the odor and she said she was sweating a bit more now days.  Her urine was also very offensive and she had a greasy face.

As the skin started clearing, it seemed to me as if she was growing weaker and losing flesh.  At the weekly OPD I saw that she was so thin, that I could count the vertebrae in her spinal column.

Now her skin was fine but she kept consulting me for recurrent cold, cough and mild headache.

6^th March 2014

It was going on like this when suddenly one Monday evening her father rushed to  my clinic carrying her in his arms, as she was unable to walk, had severe headache (more in occipital area).  She lay down in my clinic as she was unable to hold her head up and was worse <bending.

Bodyache especially back, hands, legs and feet joints.

Pain in abdomen with hot burning urine.

Pains better in joints, much better in hands

Urine increased in quantity, less offensive but it is dark as ink.

Pain in anterior aspect of thigh running down to toes with some numbness in the toes.

Lower extremities cold to touch bilateral

Pain abdomen slight all the time

Nape of neck still so weak and painful that she was unable to sit upright

Eye watering with so much weakness that she could not read the fine prints in the book

On examination of both eye with a light I noticed that only the left pupil  contracted.

Now the most troubling symptom was that she was unable to eat inspite of appetite, due to nausea from the smell of cooked food.

Extremely irritable with the family

On the basis of nausea for odor of food, pain thighs goin down toes, dark urine and unequal pupil contraction I prescribed Colchicum autumnale.
