Introduction and Background: Psychological stress is found to be increasing in the present era because of the number of factors. One of the causes of psychological stress is their concern and anxiety for their child, be it their study or health. Hemophilia is a blood genetic disease which not only carries stress to the patient, but a cause of psychological stress to parents owing to its severity and high-cost management. Stress coping and management becomes difficult for such parents. Therefore this study was undertaken to examine the role of homeopathic medicine in managing psychological stress in parents of people with hemophilia (PWH). Materials and Methods: 100 parents of PWH were selected by randomized sampling technique from the period 2014-2016 at homeopathy in hemophilia research centre, Nashik. FISC-MR scale was used to measure the levels of stress in 10 different aspects of the life of parents of PWH. Result: For each scale, the mean difference in before and after treatment was highly significant at P = 0.0001. Conclusion: Parents of PWH suffer from stress associated with children's health condition. It affects parental IPR and relationship with society. This study has shown that homeopathic medicines are effective in coping with psychological stress among parents of PWH. It has markedly increased the interpersonal relationship and social relationship.

Afibrinogenemia is an extremely rare inherited bleeding disorder. Less than 100 such cases have been described from India. Beta-thalassemia carrier status (trait) is common in many Indian casts and religious groups; hence, a rare combination of these two conditions can be expected. Here, we report one such case treated solely using homeopathic medicine. The male patient was borne out of a nonconsanguineous marriage. He had delayed separation of the umbilical cord after 14 days and bleeding from the site. In addition, he had multiple bleeding episodes treated successfully by homeopathy since 11 months of age. His thalassemia trait needed no treatment. As fibrinogen concentrate is not easily available, this line of management could also be considered if the concentrate or safe cryoprecipitate is not immediately available.
