Kent's cases 41: Dysmenorrhoea III Borax

Miss Susie C____, twenty-two years old,
consulted me for dysmenorrhoea. Her menses came very much too soon,
and lasted from seven to ten days.

The flow was dark and clotted the first three or
four days; the severe pain was at the beginning; she got some relief after
passing membranes. She complained of aphthous patches in the mouth and
sometimes on the labia.
She always had a leucorrhoea several days before
menstruation, white-of-egg like and ropy. Her pains were often labor-like,
constricting (Cactus), extending into the back and up the back (Gels.), and
down the thighs (Cham), and sometimes to the stomach, causing vomiting.
She would always weep from music (Natrum)
and grow sick and become frightened when going down from any high
building in an elevator.
She got Borax 3m at proper intervals.
The result was satisfactory. The second period
was painless and normal. The relief in this case has been permanent.
