Abstract

Subclinical Hypothyroidism (SCH) is a prevalent endocrine disorder marked by an underactive thyroid gland, which can lead to symptoms such as irregular menses, hairfall, fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and mood disturbances. Biochemically, the condition is characterized by elevated serum Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels, with serum triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) concentrations falling within the lower or normal limits of the reference range. A 29-year-old female, consulted in OPD of GHMC&H Bengaluru on 4.7.24 with irregular menses and diffuse hairfall since 6 months associated with history of weight gain, lethargy, dryness of skin, lack of concentration, small quantity of food causes fullness and constipation. As per the investigations on 2.7.24, elevated TSH value was found to be 7.360µIU/mL. After thorough case taking, homoeopathic treatment with Calcarea Phosphoricum 200 & 1M led to remarkable improvement assessed using modified Naranjo criteria. With 6 months of individualised Homoeopathic treatment, TSH level is found to be within the normal limits i.e 1.71µIU/mL as per the investigations on 13.12.24.The homoeopathic system of medicine, through its individualized and holistic approach, has been reported to improve serum thyroid profiles in SCH patients. Additionally, it addresses overall vitality and immunity, leading to enhanced well-being in a shorter time frame.
