A 23 yr old married female had a bad obstetric history. She had a H/o IUD
(intrauterine death of fetus), and an infant death at 2 months. The cause of any
of these accidents was not known as the lady hailed from a village with very
limited medical access. She came to Bangalore recently and underwent some
tests at the suggestion of a gynecologist. She came with a report of right tubal
blockage and left-sided hydrosalpinx revealed in a hysterosalpingogram. As she
was trying for another pregnancy it was paramount to resolve this condition
first, while at the same time trying to find the reasons for her previous losses.
She was extremely stressed due to familial pressure. A dose of THYROIDINUM
10m was administered on Sept 21. She responded well to the medicine. 2 months
later she was given a dose of TUBERCULINUM 1m. An HSG scan 4 months later in
Jan 22 showed both tubes patent and grossly normal. The patient did not come
for further follow-up. The reason for her bad obs history was also not revealed.
Explanation
This case threw a challenge as the patient did not divulge many symptoms. She
was given Thyroidinum on the basis of the severe stress she was under and her
previous pregnancy-related complications. Tuberculinum prescription was
based purely on experience in such cases where it follows Thyroidinum well.
