Characteristic Symptoms
Sinking, or “all-gone” feeling in the epigastrium. (Sepia). Menses profuse. Frequent need to urinate during night. Urine colourless. (Compare Kreosot). Venereal desire renewed by the slightest touch. Feeling as though something was pressing on a sore spot in the pelvis. Sharp pain from the right side of uterus to left mamma. Leucorrhoea green or bloody. Consciousness of a womb. (Helonias). Nervous, lively, and affectionate women are most adapted to the remedy.
Therapeutics
Polyuria worse night, urine also fetid, with the odour of Valerian. Prolapsus uteri, with pressure and bearing-down pains, and sharp pain extending upward to the breasts. Patient keeps the legs tightly crossed to relieve the prostration. Chronic metritis, after miscarriage or labour with pain from uterus to mamma, as above described. Subinvolution of uterus after confinement, with pressure on rectum, haemorrhoids, greenish-yellow leucorrhoea, and weariness in the loins. Nymphomania. (Lilium, Platina, Hyoscyamus). Two cases of this disease, very obstinate, cured by the late R. Muller, M.D., of Copenhagen. Large cyst from left ovary, situated in fossa Douglasii, after secretion of very limpid fluid through vagina. Spongy growths on the orificium uteri externum. Benign tumours in the breast (two cases cured by author). The remedy most resembles Sepia.
