lumps can be dissolved and recurrence can be curbed by medicines, writes Dr PANKAJ AGGARWAl
An urban lifestyle is very demanding. Women are excelling in all fields, be it at home or work. She is in the role of a mother, daughter, and wife at home, while she is a teacher, doctor, manager, or a businesswoman at work. Probably, there is no field where she is not in the forefront. But to be able to excel everywhere, she needs to be healthy.
One of the most common causes of concern for any woman during her child bearing years (under 30 years) is the presence of lump in breast, most importantly because breast cancer is the most common cancer prevalent in today’s world.
One must understand that all lumps are not always cancerous. lumps often appear during menstruation or in women taking contraceptives, so they appear for a while and disappear later on. Action must be taken when the lump begins to enlarge and remains that way for a long period of time.
A non-cancerous lump in the breast is medically referred to as fibroadenoma and its prevalence is on the rise. It occurs in about 10 per cent of all women. It is usually seen in women under the age of 30.
With increasing age, the occurrence of fibroadenoma decreases. It usually has a firm, rubbery consistency with well defined margins, and moves freely under the skin, though there are many which are too small to be felt. It can be easily diagnosed by clinical examination, and by ultrasound or mammography.
The chances of fibroadenoma being transformed into breast cancer are rare. Moreover, regression is frequent.
It is commonly seen that patients are advised surgical removal of the lump, though chances of recurrence remain post-operatively. But there is a therapy which can cure or in other words dissolve the lump and its recurrence fully by medicine, without any surgical intervention. That science is homeopathy.
How Homeopathy worksIJ
Homeopathy as a branch of medicine remains doubtful with reference to its efficacy, its scientificity in general and in the context of various diseases in particular.
Whatever may be the name of the disease, homeopathy offers a holistic way of treatment. It understands each disease holistically (mind-body-spirit) and tailors the treatment for each individual having a disease.
Homeopathy treats the patient with the disease, not merely disease. Undoubtedly, we consider the complaints of the patient but what actually caused the patient to develop that particular kind of disease is also well taken into consideration. Besides the family history, the effect of emotional stress of life plays a vital role in the development of fibroadenoma.
Stress occurs in everyone’s life, be it the stress of homework for a school-going child, stress to achieve the highest for a college student, of the employer for a working professional or of disease for an old person. No one is bereft of stress. But reaction of each individual is different, and this reaction to such stress is considered in homeopathy for curing the patient.
The recent PNI (Psycho-Neuro-Immunology) has also shown how it all happens in humans. Studies reveal that fibroadenoma commonly occurs in females with over-considerate attitude for others, who fail to care for themselves. As a result, they suffer in silence due to assortment of problems, such as fibroadenoma.
There are many homeopathic medicines which can be used effectively in the treatment of fibroadenoma such as Phytolacca, Conium, Silicea, Carbo-animalis, Sulph etc to name a few.
Connection of mind and body is very powerful. Good mind means healthy body, but unfortunately this is not true in recent times. For long, medical science has been denying this relationship, but has now agreed to it. We must educate masses to be ‘happy’ and take ‘homeopathy’ (H+H), which is the key to success.
We must always remember that a healthy female means a healthy family and a healthy nation.
