Case 40
Dysmenorrhoea II
Calcarea phosphorica

Miss X____, twenty-four years old, had suffered
from dysmenorrhoea since puberty.
She always kept her bed during the first day.
Menses a few days too soon and profuse, lasting Eve days. The pain was
labor-like, and there was some bearing down in the vagina, with a sensation
as if the parts would protrude.
She often felt as if her menses would come on at
different times during the interim, and sometimes a sexual flame annoyed
her. Generally she was robust and free from complaint.
Calc-phos. cured this lady in two months.
She was an orphan, having no mother to advise
her, therefore exposure at the time that she most needed to exercise
judgment, brought on the suffering that lasted ten years before she obtained
the appropriate remedy.
This patient had submitted to local treatment
without palliation. She had been told that internal medication could not
benefit her.
