Dupuytren's disease is fibrosis that occurs in the middle fascia of the palm of the hand. This pathology affects men over the age of 40 and also diabetics. Certain genetic factors can cause Dupuytren's disease. In addition, drug treatments based on phenobarbital and isoniazid as well as alcohol consumption promote the evolution of this disease.
Symptoms of the pathology
The signs of Dupuytren's disease appear, in the majority of cases, on the hands. People who suffer from this pathology have their fingers flexed beyond their control. This flexion appears gradually and can be irreducible. When Dupuytren's disease is in the primary stage, the patient may observe small, painless nodules on the inside of the palm of his hand. The nodules can evolve and cause irreversible flexion of the fingers. If left untreated, the disease can progress and lead to skin umbilications or nodular skin invasion.
Homeopathic remedies indicated
Patients with Dupuytren's disease can be treated with homeopathy. If the pathology is manifested by deformity of the fingers, the patient should take Calcarea Fluorica 4CH at a rate of 3 granules, twice a day. The homeopathic treatment Baryta Carbonica is rather indicated for people with a large build. On the other hand, if the individual is thin, it is preferable to administer the remedy Strontium Carbonicum.
The most suitable remedies to make the fingers supple are Causticum, Ruta Graveolens and Calacarea Fluorica. In the event that the disease is associated with stiffness of the fingers or palm of the hand, the homeopathic remedy indicated is Radium Brimatum with dilution 7CH. The dosage is 3 granules, 3 times a day during treatment. Pain in the fingers, especially those that occur at night, can be relieved with Formica Rufa 4CH to 5CH.
When to see a doctor?
Dupuytren's disease is a disease that can bother the patient. Although its progression is gradual, it is best to consult a doctor as soon as symptoms appear. The first telltale sign is a retraction of the fingers over a more or less long period of time. In addition, it is recommended to seek the advice of a doctor before starting any treatment.
