Platina 200c for a case of Menorrhagia:
When I am working in a clinic in Oct. 2009, one day I came to my home for lunch. At that time, my neighbor rushed into my home saying that his wife is suffering from severe pain in the abdomen and she is complaining of reeling sensation. Immediately I went to see her, she is feeble and weak. Moaning with pain. I asked her what happened to her then she said that she had her periods today and she has severe pain in the abdomen and her bleeding is too heavy with clots. She has cold sweats all over the body, trembling is there. Finally, I gave a dose of Platina 200c for this case, worked wonderfully for her Menorrhagia.
She is crying and saying that she might die with her pains. Immediately basing on the acute totality of symptoms, at first I gave her Aconite 200 one dose. Told her husband to come, meet me in the evening, and update me about her condition. However, he didn’t turn up then I felt that she might be taking allopathic treatment that’s why she didn’t come to see me.
After 4 days, her husband came to my house saying that her condition is quite well and her remaining period time she is quite well without any complaint. I felt happy and thinking that why she did not turn up and say the same thing to me instead of her husband because we are neighbors and we expect the same thing from her instead of her husband.
