3) Prolapsus of the uterus
4) Scanty menses
5) Premature and profuse menses
6) Frequent mental depression
7) Hardened cervix
8) Ulceration of the womb and Vagina
9) Inflammation of the membranes of the uterus
10) One or both fallopian tubes blocked
11) Vaginal wall defective

Remedies:
1) Borax 30x, 4 hourly: It favors easy conception. The patient may suffer from profuse
menses, membranous dysmenorrhoea, leucorrhoea with sensation as if warm water flowing
from vagina; and itching of vulva. Three weekly doses of Calcarea Carb 30x may be given
after it has been administered duly, if the patient is fat and flabby.
2) Natrum Phos 6x: If sterility is caused by vaginal acid secretions, which prove fatal to
spermatozoa, it is the remedy. It would also be helpful in curing frontal headache, acid
leucorrhoea, and irregularity of monthly periods.
3) Silicea 12x, twice a day: It is needed for women who are so weak that no conception
takes place. It seems as if the organs were too feeble to perform their functions. It cures
ulceration of the womb also. Calcarea Phos 3x or 6x may be given intercurrently.
4) Aurum Mur Natronatum 3x one hour after each meal: “The woman, who had been
married for three years and childless, became pregnant for the first time and has since borne
several children” (Dr Tritschler as quoted by Dr E. P. Anshutz in his book “New, Old and
Forgotten Remedies”). This medicine helps in attaining the joy of motherhood inasmuch as it
tones up the uterine tissue and reduces the swelling of the ovaries, the cervix and the uterus.
5) Ova Tosta 3x, twice a day for a week, if sterility is due to non-production of ova.
Management:
1) Vitamin A helps the treatment
2) An easy hand held fertility monitor to assess fertility status – low, high or peak
