Tendency for advising medical test by do
Recently it is seen very often that homeopathy doctor also are advising for many investigation while there is no fixed medicine in homeopathy for a specific disease. Their treatment is based on one and only symptom collection and detailed case history. For some acute case like any severe pain in abdomen or any other acute case test is necessary for saving life but regarding for chronic disease ( 5 years or more) which I asked the homeopathy doctor in this practo platform, like today I asked a query about Urine incontinence which I have been suffering from more than 10 years, then response of the doctors of this practo platform is finding the cause by doing medical test is necessary at first. Why they advise frequent medical test when in homeopathy there is no specific medicine for specific disease??? When one person suffering a disease from more than 10years , is not life - threating Or not critical otherwise he must be dead in this 10 years???

I think you need to get your facts right...
Whether you are getting treated by ....... Homeopathy, Allopathy or Ayurveda, each and every science needs diagnosis tools for confirmation. You can't just compare any pathy with other.
Diagnosis is must for every pathy. It is a base for treatment.
Medical diagnosis or case diagnosis is also a concept in Homeopathy.
Hope you are clear about Homeopathy And Homeopathic doctors...
Let your case be handled by the experts. Do not indulge with your thoughts. It will be difficult for any doctor to treat you.
You can opt for second opinion for sure...for your confirmation but need to believe experts.

You have understood homeopathy correctly....in homeopathy we don't treat the reports but the person in his suffering state .
So To understand why the person is suffering from a particular problem since years and not getting better after prolonged treatment, sometimes it is necessary to go for some scans and tests to confirm whether the line of treatment is correct or not .
But Unnecessarily so many tests should not be done I agree.
Next Steps
please consult with your doctor again and ask your doubts clearly without hesitation.

Hello
Yes Homoeopathy is based on symptoms but symptoms do have pathological and diagnostic too.
So getting these symptoms is necessary.
Most important cause is very necessary in Homoeopathy which would be known after investigations.

There are various legal and practical implications if we ignore diagnosis and patients have tendency to ask questions about which they have partial knowledge.
Most of their knowledge comes from google search and they are highly mislead.
Based on what they ask questions.
Like you said there is no specific medicine for specific disease in homeopathy.
But, the truth is, the test helps to rule out other conditions and makes the diagnosis confirmed.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed then we have common symptoms of the disease which helps to group out most uncommon peculiar symptoms of the patient to select the best suitable medicine.
The test result also helps to measure the improvement after homoeopathic prescription.
E.g. if a patient's serum creatinine was 3 and after treatment if it comes down to normal range, it is provides evidence of effectiveness of the treatment.
I am very happy that patients like you are actually becoming aware about various treatment and asking questions.
Just make sure you are not being prejudiced or misinformed.

Tests are necessary for ODP of disease which is very important in homoeopathy. Also for prognosis and to differentiate between common and PQRS symptoms.

Hi Practo user
Tests might be necessary to see how far the disease has progressed and also to see the improvement with ongoing treatment,there can be other reasons too
Do freely discuss with your treating dr to clear your doubts in case you find the tests are irrelevant to your case
You can easily take an online consultation for further treatment guidance

Chronic diseases have progression and it is not like that it remained to that particular part only. So, advising the test is not at all wrong. Rather it helps dr to know where their patients are standing in terms of that particular disease condition. And what further management is required for that.
So, advising tests is not wrong.
As far as your case is concerned I am not at all aware about your condition and what all tests your dr has recommended. Better you must discuss this with your dr only and clarify the need for that test.
