Kent's cases 39: Dysmenorrhoea Calcarea phosphorica

Mattie E.-,age twenty-three. Since the first menstrual nisus, which occurred
at thirteen, she has suffered great pain at every period, which has been
every three weeks.

Pain in the uterus and down the limbs. Before and during she has suffered
from an empty, hungry, all gone feeling in the stomach (Sep., Murex, Ign.);
she cannot stand long on the feet, the pain is so much aggravated; cold,
feet, great dizziness when going up stairs, voracious appetite.
The fact that this difficulty dated back to puberty guided me to Calc-phos.
She never had any more pain. This young lady was compelled to avoid any
engagement that might come on her sick day, as she was compelled to keep
her bed most of the first day. Her expressions of gratitude have often
cheered me, and her praise has brought me much business.
So important is Calc-Phos. in the painful affections of the uterus connected
with puberty, and resulting from bad habits or neglected advice at that time,
that I feel like emphasizing this feature of it.
It is a common practice in rural districts for girls at puberty to wade in
water and do, many careless things, thereby laying foundation for
dysmenorrhoea and sterility.
The complaints growing out of these causes find their remedy in Calc-phos.
in a very large number of instances.
