HOMOEOPATHIC MANAGEMENT OF MENORRHAGIA AND METORRHAGIA

In Homoeopathy, we take into account the mental symptoms. Every woman is different. For example, some women weep easily, if we console them they feel better, whereas some of them get angry when we go to console them. You may wonder what it has to do with menorrhagia or metorrhagia. Along with the cause of the disease, mental symptoms are also considered and after taking a detail case history, a Homoeopathic medicine is prescribed which helps the patient.
