Abstract

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal and metabolic disorder in women of reproductive age, marked by irregular periods, excess androgens, and polycystic ovaries. It can lead to symptoms like acne, hirsutism, weight gain, and fertility issues due to chronic anovulation. Acanthosis nigricans is a chronic skin condition characterised by thickened, hyperpigmented, and velvety patches. It is often associated with metabolic disorders such as obesity and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). This case study reports a 34-year-old female with long-standing acanthosis nigricans, obesity, irregular menstrual cycles, and metabolic imbalance. She was treated with constitutional remedies, including Pulsatilla. Over 12 months, the patient achieved significant improvement: normalisation of menstrual cycles, reduction in acanthosis nigricans and better overall metabolic function. The resolution of the pathology was confirmed with the ultrasound imaging technique. This case signifies the role of constitutional medicine in treating PCOS.
