Background: Osteoporosis is a common condition in postmenopausal women due to oestrogen deficiency, leading to decreased bone density and increased fracture risk. Conventional treatment often involves hormone replacement therapy and calcium supplementation, which may have side effects. This case report demonstrates the role of individualized homoeopathic treatment in managing osteoporosis effectively.
Case summary: A 56-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with generalized bone pain, easy fatigability, and reduced mobility. Her DEXA scan showed significant reduction in bone mineral density (T-score: –2.8). After thorough case-taking, individualized homoeopathic treatment was administered. Over a period of one year, the patient showed remarkable clinical improvement with improved DEXA score (T-score: –1.9) and better quality of life.
