Obstetric and gynaecological practice encompasses a broad spectrum of physiological, pathological, and psychosocial dimensions of women’s health across the life course. While conventional obstetrics and gynaecology emphasise anatomical, hormonal, and surgical frameworks, increasing attention has been directed toward integrative approaches that address functional disturbances, chronic symptomatology, and quality of life. Homoeopathic Materia Medica, grounded in individualised symptom patterns and constitutional susceptibility, offers a complementary perspective that may enhance holistic care in women’s health. This narrative review examines key obstetric and gynaecological domains through the lens of contemporary clinical practice while exploring supportive insights derived from classical Homoeopathic Materia Medica. By synthesizing obstetric–gynaecological knowledge with Materia Medica principles, the review highlights conceptual intersections, potential areas of clinical relevance, and challenges in integration. The paper aims to provide an academically balanced framework that respects the primacy of obstetrics and gynaecology while situating homoeopathic Materia Medica as an adjunctive, patient-centred perspective in women’s healthcare.
