Feeding mothers Goiter resolved With Homeopathy
Mrs. A.A. 31-year-old female along with her husband visited the Life Force Homeopathy clinic at Thane branch (Patient ID: 53928). She presented with a gradually enlarging lump in her neck for 1.5 years. She had noticed the lump while looking in the mirror, and it has become progressively more noticeable in the past 6 months. Along with the visible enlargement, she experienced difficulty swallowing, pain in the throat on speaking for a longer duration, and occasional breathlessness. The goiter size has been increasing for 6 months. The size of the goiter was moderate, with palpable enlargement of the thyroid gland. There was pain in the nodule before menses. She also complained of mild fatigue, mood swings, occasional palpitations, and a feeling of fullness in the throat. No significant weight loss or gain was seen.
She is a financial analyst and a breastfeeding mother of a 15-month-old child, and she was not in favor of having surgery at this time. The endocrinologist recommended a left hemithyroidectomy. This was brought on by the stress of office work and her relationship with her husband, as well as the fact that she does not get enough sleep at night because of the baby.
