MASTITIS AND MENOPAUSE - CONTD.

La MASTITIS AND MENOPAUSE 

Lac caninum: a very useful remedy in mastitis, the chief indication being great tenderness and soreness which cannot bear the least jar of the bed or stepping on the floor. Again, if the breasts and throat get sore during menstruation, especially if the menses flow in gushes instead of continuously, Lac caninum is the remedy 



Phelandrium: Constant hawking and cough, intolerable pain in milk ducts between nursing 


Phytolacca: is also one of our best remedies for mastitis. The breasts are very hard, greatly swollen, hot and painful. When the child nurses the pain radiates all over the body. There is fever, great pain in the head and back, and if it is a bad case, unless checked, is very liable to go on to suppuration. Every time the child nurses the pains spread all over the body. The choice often lies between this remedy and Bryonia, and they complement each other. Almost every case of swollen breasts with the milk fever, when the breasts fill for the first time after confinement, may be speedily relieved with one or the other of these two remedies. If the case should have gone on to suppuration, with large fistulous, gaping and angry ulcers discharging a watery or fœtid pus, Phytolacca is still the remedy; and will often do more good than Hepar sulphur. and Silicea. But the choice sometimes has to be made between other remedies such as: 
Croton tiglium. The pain runs through to the back when child nurses. (Silicea, Pulsatilla). 
Phellandrium. Pain runs along the milk ducts between the acts of nursing. 
Lac caninum. The breasts are greatly filled and so sore that their own weight hurts the patient, who wants to hold them up and shrinks from the least jar. Of course Aconite, Apis and Belladonna must not be forgotten, and have as positive indications for their use as any of the above remedies. (See also Castor equorum.) 



Sanguinaria -Flashes of heat, with hot palms and soles, at the climacteric find a remedy in Sanguinaria. Sometimes indicated after Sulphur and Lachesis have failed, especially if the circumscribed redness of the cheeks appears. 
Secale -If there is a tendency to passive hæmorrhage, everything open and loose, no action, in thin, scrawny, cachectic women (muscles flabby), there is no remedy like it, it is useful when labor pains are weak, suppressed or distressing, in weak, cachectic women; in the 200th dilution. Great coldness (objective) of the surface yet the patient cannot bear to be covered. Secale has burning in the feet (Sulphur) and cramps in the calves (Sulphur). 
Sepia - like Sulphur, affects the general circulation in a very marked manner. Flashes of heat with perspiration and faintness is almost as characteristic of this remedy as of Sulphur. But there are, with Sepia, more apt to be associated with them the pelvic symptoms. Pain in uterus, bearing down, comes from back to abdomen, causing oppression of breathing; crosses limbs to prevent protrusion of parts."(Hering). Easily cries like Puls, becomes indifferent to her occupation, her house work, her family or their comfort, even to those whom she loves the best. This a very peculiar symptom and a genuine keynote for the exhibition of Sepia. Murex is closest to sepia, it has great, almost uncontrollable sexual desire, while with Sepia there is a lack of or aversion to the same


Anemia 



Kali Carb –Anaemic women, incline to bloat, particularly in face, around eyes and especially upper eyelids, and have much pain and weakness in the lumbar region as well as general weakness. Kali carb. is in such cases sometimes successful after Ferrum or Pulsatilla have been wrongly prescribed. 



MOSCHUS; CASTOREUM; ASAFŒTIDA; VALERIAN; AMBRA GRISEA. Here are five so-called hysterical remedies. They have many nervous symptoms that are similar, and I will only give a few characteristic symptoms of each and leave their study to those who love to study.These five remedies should be studied together. 


Moschus. "Hysterical spasms of the chest, nervous suffocative constrictions, especially on becoming cold." Palpitation (hysteric) with dyspnœa, prostration, fainting, exclaiming, "I shall die! I shall die!" etc., greatly excited. Laughs immoderately, or cries or scolds until her lips turn blue, eyes stare and she falls down fainting or unconscious. 


Castoreum. "Exhausted pains better from pressure, menstrual colic, with pallor and cold sweat." 


Asafœtida. Enormous accumulation of flatulence all pressing upward; ball rising in throat. 
Great suffering, especially hysterical, from suppression of discharges. Discharges fœtid. 
Great sensitiveness to contact; in ulcers, especially periosteal. 
"Full of wind; flatulence with eructations all pressing upward, but none downward. Seems as if she would burst with the upward pressure, reverse peristalsis." "Especially useful if its nervous symptoms come on after the suppression of leucorrhœal or other habitual discharges." All discharges offensive, even of ulcers, and great sensitiveness to contact or touch. Osteitis or caries with this same exceeding sensitiveness to contact (Hepar). 


Valerian. General nervous irritation, cannot keep still, tearing pains and cramps in different places. Feels as if floating in the air (Sticta pulm. as if legs were floating in the air). Over-sensitiveness of all the senses. Sensation as of a thread hanging down throat. With this remedy I once cured a severe case of sciatica in a pregnant woman on the symptom, pain worse when standing and letting the foot rest on the floor. She could stand with that foot resting on a chair, or could lie down in comfort. 


Ambra grisea. Convulsive cough, with frequent eructations of gas. 
Discharge of blood between the periods; after a hard stool; or walk. 
Very nervous women, cannot void stool or urinate when others are in the room. 
Discharge of blood between periods; any little exertion or straining at stool causes it. Nervous cough followed by eructations of wind. It is particularly adapted to nervous affections of old people and spare subjects nervously "worn out." 


Murex -it comes nearer to Sepia than any other remedy and the characteristic deference between them is, that with Murex there is great, almost uncontrollable sexual desire, while with Sepia there is a lack of or aversion to the same, especially with prolapsus. Both remedies have "sinking, all gone" sensation in the stomach; also "bearing down" sensation, as if internal organs would be out, must sit and cross limbs to ameliorate the pressure. Again, Murex has a sore pain in uterus, something like Helonias, which is expressed as "conscious of a womb," feels it more when she moves, it is so sore and tender. (Lyssin.) Two other remedies must be remembered in nymphomania, viz, Lilium and Platina. 


Natrum Mur - This remedy is one of the best for bearing-down pains in women, which are worse in the morning. The patient feels as if she must sit down to prevent prolapsus. This is like the pains of the Sepiapatient, who feels as if she must cross her legs for the same purpose. Now if we had the stool and anal symptoms of Natrum present, and especially the hypochondriasis, we would have almost a sure thing in Natrum. These uterine symptoms of Natrum are often accompanied by back pains, which are relieved by lying upon back, like Rhus. 


Nux Vomica - Inefficient labour pains, extending to the rectum, with desire for stool or frequent urination, are quickly relieved, and become efficient, after the administration of a dose of Nux vomica 200. 


Croton tiglium. The pain runs through to the back when child nurses. (Silicea, Pulsatilla). 


Phellandrium. Pain runs along the milk ducts between the acts of nursing. 
Lac caninum. The breasts are greatly filled and so sore that their own weight hurts the patient, who wants to hold them up and shrinks from the least jar. Of course Aconite, Apis and Belladonna must not be forgotten, and have as positive indications for their use as any of the above remedies. (See also Castor equorum.) 


Tarantula Hispansia – It acts upon the uterus and ovaries, and upon the female sexual organs generally. "In case of hyperæstesia or congestion of these organs, which set up a general hysterical condition, states simulating spinal neurasthenia, sensitive and painful back; excessive restlessness, and impressibility to excitements.
