ITP - IDIOPATHIC THROMBOCYTOPENIA

A Case of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia cured with Homoeopathy


Mrs. Saroj Sharma, 35 yr old lady came to me in Jan’2008 with complaint of recurrent bleeding from gums and nose since 16-17yrs. She had purplish patches all over body, called ecchymotic patches. On investigations it was noticed that her total platelet count was drastically low and was reducing further. It had come down to 7,000 from 10,000 within a period of 6 months!! She also complained of profuse and prolonged menstrual bleeding, though her cycle was regularly on time. It was a clear cut case of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenia where without any apparent reason; the patients platelet counts keep decreasing quiet rapidly. There is difficulty in clotting of blood and appearance of purplish ecchymotic patches all over the body.
Mrs. Sharma was given steroids in 2006 but without much benefit. She also complained of recurrent left sided headaches. She had developed cataract also at such a young age.
She was a very anxious lady and thought her disease was incurable.
We started the treatment on 25th Jan., 2008. On 31st Jan., 2008, her blood reports showed the platelet count as 70,000, which was still quiet low. Her ESR was 3 with a blood picture of normocytic normochromic smear with mild thrombocytopenia. Her lipid profile was normal and urine analysis showed marginal increase in epithelial cells and 0-1 RBCs in urine.
The treatment continued for another 2-3months and on 19th April,2008 her platelet counts were pleasantly raised to 1,20,000. Much better report and the patient were far better symptomatically also. And again on 27th May,2008, the blood report showed tremendous proved of the tremendous recovery and cure. The platelet count now was much within the normal range of 1,50,000-4,50,000. it was now 3,22,000!! To everybodys joy, there was no more bleeding from gums, no ecchymotic patches and her headaches were also much better.
Till today the Sharmas thank Homoeopathy and take Homoeopathic medicines only for any and every problem.
