A CASE OF SUBCHORIONIC HEMATOMA AND FEEBLE HEARTBEAT MANAGED WITH CLASSICAL HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT
The importance of addressing the underlying cause of disease in Homoeopathy
Abstract
Subchorionic hematoma (SCH) is a condition in which there is bleeding beneath the chorionic membranes that enclose the embryo in the uterus. It is thought to occur due to the partial detachment of chorionic membranes from the wall of the uterus. This case study highlights the importance of addressing the underlying cause of disease in Homoeopathy, as the patient’s emotional state following a traumatic event played a significant role in the development of her SCH.
Background
SCH is associated with an increased risk of pregnancy loss if it accounts for 25% or more of the gestational sac volume. The risk is even higher when the location of the hematoma is retroplacental. The earlier in pregnancy, a subchorionic hematoma is identified, the higher the rate of subsequent pregnancy failure. Women with SCH are at a fivefold or more increased risk of developing placental abruption. They are also at risk for other complications such as preterm labor, premature rupture of membranes, early and late pregnancy loss, and pregnancy-induced hypertension in the third trimester.
Diagnosis: Subchorionic Hematoma, feeble heartbeat, Hemorrhagic corpus luteal cyst

The patient was given a progesterone injection and pills for a week. The heavy bleeding stopped, but dark blood discharge continued. The patient was suffering from depression and severe mood changes, did not want to eat or drink anything, wept sometimes, and couldn’t concentrate on anything.

After homoeopathic medicine (Ignatia 200/1 dose on 19/11/2022)
This case study highlights the significance of addressing the root cause of illness in homoeopathy. The patient’s emotional state after a traumatic event was a significant factor in the development of her SCH. The homeopathic remedy IGNATIA improved the patient’s symptoms and stabilized her condition, which was prescribed based on her symptoms of abortion from fright, weakness from grief, sighing, sadness, mental depression, chill from fright and disturbed sleep after fright (since the day she became aware of the risk to her baby’s health). The treatment is progressing in the right direction, as the underlying pathology improves, and the skin symptoms have become more pronounced.
