Premi J and Winston Vargheese
Vein Thrombosis (DVT), often resulting in significant morbidity. Conventional management frequently focuses on external compression and wound care, with high recurrence rates.
Case Presentation: A 30-year-old female presented with a non-healing ulcer on the left medial malleolus persisting for one year, accompanied by a history of chronic DVT for five years. Symptoms included burning and pricking pain, aggravated by prolonged standing, alongside significant venous tortuosity.
Intervention: The patient was treated with individualized homeopathic medicine. Lachesis mutus was administered in LM potency based on the acute totality of symptoms, followed by Sulphur as an intercurrent, and Sepia officinalis as the constitutional remedy. Local dressing with Calendula glycerine was employed as an adjunct.
Results: Significant symptomatic relief was observed within weeks. The ulcer healed completely within 1.5 months, supported by photographic evidence.
Conclusion: This case highlights the efficacy of individualized homeopathic treatment in managing complex pathological conditions like DVT-induced varicose ulcers, emphasizing the utility of LM potencies in minimizing aggravation.
