It is extremely difficult to diagnose the cause of menstrual irregularities on the basis of acute symptoms alone, without
an indepth study of the background of the disease. If an adult female
is found to have similar irregularities, one usually forgets
about her previous history i.e. puberty. However, it is necessary that
the history should be dated back to early adulthood, since it is
important to know when the trouble started and how it started. If the menstrual irregularity started on exposure to the cold during the periods, then Calcarea Phos should be used immediately. By God’s grace,
the patient becomes cured forever with its use. One symptom is
common to Calcarea Phos and Cimicifuga: the patient feels a lot of
discomfort, pain and cramping in the area of the uterus. The main difference
is that in the patient of Cimicifuga, the symptoms become worse
as the bleeding starts to flow more freely. In a patient of
Calcarea Phos,severe cramps and
severe discomfort precede the onset of the bleeding.
Once the bleeding commences, these symptoms disappear. This symptom is the distinctive feature of Calcarea Phos. Generally, Magnesium Phos is considered to
be the best treatment for
spasms and cramps. It is not only useful in the treatment of cramps
of the uterus, but also cramps elsewhere in the body. If the spasms become
better with the application of heat, then one should give Magnesium Phos.
However, if the pain eases with cold, then Belladonna, Apis, Secale and
Pulsatilla will be more useful. In the spasmodic pain associated with Calcarea
Phos, heat offers relief.
Calcarea Phos is the best remedy for the treatment of spasmodic pain and cramps over the sexual organs in women. If sexual desire becomes heightened due to some diseases, not of the
natural kind, then besides Calcarea Phos, Platinum Gratiola and Origanum can
also be useful. Calcarea Phos is a must if the patient’s uterus starts to prolapse at the time
of urination. In Calcarea Phos, the menstrual blood consists of dark
blood clots, while in Calcarea Carb and Phosphorus, the colour of the blood is
red. If the periods
begin before time, the blood is bright red and if the periods are
delayed, then the colour of the blood becomes black.Sometimes, the colour of the blood is red first and then
turns dark. In
Calcarea Phos, the leucorrhoeal discharge is like the white of an
egg. Symptoms
become worse in the morning. The milk
of the lactating women tastes salty and the child refuses to suck. A Calcarea Phos patient cries out with pain
spontaneously. The chest hurts. The cough
is suffocating in nature. The patient feels better on lying down.
The voice becomes hoarse. The patient feels pain in the lower part of the left
lung. On exposure to open air or cold, the patient develops rheumatism. The
back and the neck become stiff. The
head feels heavy. The limbs become numb. The symptoms become worse from the
cold and change of weather. The patient becomes easily tired on going up the
stairs. The pains start two hours after eating food. The symptoms aggravate
after eating or drinking something. The symptoms subside with heat and in dry
weather.
The memory
becomes affected as a result of sudden shock. The patient likes to move away from the place so that the
suffering may become less. In Calcarea Phos, the headache is very severe.
The head feels warm and hurts deep down to the roots of the
hair. The tonsils become swollen and cause difficulty in opening the
mouth (trismus). Calcarea Phos is also useful in the treatment of teething problems
of children. The teeth grow rather slowly and tend to decay. Another symptom of Calcarea Phos present in children
is that they want to suck the milk all the time but they cannot
retain it and vomit it out. They
feel severe pain inside the abdomen, as well as gripes.
Bleeding follows hard stools. The child develops diarrhoea after drinking fruit juice, the stools being greenish in
colour. The patient passes enormous amounts of urine, causing weakness.
There is pain over the kidney areas. The back hurts when lifting
weight
