Hi doctor kadhwa,

This is a detailed case study of mine.

Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experiences and happenings.

1. Describe your main suffering?
I have been suffering from irregular periods from the past 6-7 years, Have been using allopathic medicines, but I was getting my period only when I use them, not only that I started increasing my weight a lot.

Have unwanted hair, headache and pcod[polycystic ovaries].

No thyroid, have done tests for thyroid.

2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body?

Not only this, I frequently suffer from bronchitis, irrespective of whatever the climate is. I cant even sleep with this. Sometimes I get cough with phlegm, which irritates a lot without coming out along with bronchitis. It aggravates when I sleep

3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?
I don’t have any mental sufferings related to physical sufferings.
