Sterility caused by salpingitis and nosode homeopathic treatment: case report

Resumo

Infertility in couples is often multifactorial. Tubal disorders account for up to 20% of causes, and hysterosalpingography is the test of choice to investigate anatomical changes, which orient the option for more conservative treatments or salpingectomy with subsequent in vitro fertilization. The present case report concerns a woman under fertility treatment for 3 years, but choose to seek homeopathic treatment before final surgery. Repertory analysis led to the selection of Sycotic co, a nosode prepared from Enterococcus faecalis, which is one of the main responsible pathogens associated with pelvic inflammatory disease, which is one of the causes of salpingitis. After 30 days of treatment, the patient became pregnant, which possibly shows that her body had regained its autopoietic (regenerative) ability against the stimulus represented by homeopathic medication. These findings support the need to perform new studies to gather further evidence of the use of homeopathy as possible adjuvant treatment for infertility.
