Multiple Renal Calculi Expelled with Individualised Homoeopathic Medicine: A Case Report

Abstract

Renal or ureteric colic is a sharp, sudden pain caused by obstruction in the ureter, usually occurring in its narrower regions. It is often associated with intense pain, nausea, vomiting, urinary infections, haematuria, and hydroureteronephrosis.  A 30 years old male patient reported to the O.P.D of the Clinical Research Unit for Homoeopathy at Puducherry, with pain in both loin region since 15 days. On Ultrasonography of the Abdomen, a 9mm calculus was seen in the right ureter with mild hydroureteronephrosis, and two calculi of sizes 4mm and 5mm were seen in the upper and middle calyx of the right kidney respectively; and also 6 mm calculus was seen in middle calyx of the left kidney. After case taking and repertorization, individualised Homoeopathic medicine Nux vomica was prescribed in 30C potency. After 6 months follow up, the stones were expelled through urine. This case of kidney stones suggests that Homoeopathic medicine facilitates the expulsion of multiple stones which was confirmed by the report of Ultra sonogram of Abdomen and Pelvis.
