Homoeopathic Intervention in the Expulsion of an 8mm Urinary Calculus: An Evidence-Based Case Report

Dr. Sufiya Shahid Mulla

Abstract: Renal or ureteric colic is characterized by abrupt and intense pain produced by an obstruction in ureter. It typically happens in the ureter's confined sections. Severe pain, nausea, vomiting, urinary tract infections, hematuria, hydronephrosis, and other symptoms may be indicative of it. Case summary: The patient presented with acute cutting pain that extended from the right lumbar region to the right groin area. The patient had an 8 mm calculus in the right upper ureter, about 48 mm from the PUJ, which caused hydroureter with hydronephrosis. The patient experienced excruciating pain, nausea, and vomiting, and had trouble while urinating. Another 2.5 mm calculus in the left kidney's middle pole calyx. The homeopathic remedy Nux Vomica followed by Hydrangea Q was administered for 3 days based on the severity and totality of the symptoms. After 3 days, the agony subsided, and on the 12th day, the 8mm stone was expelled out after some bleeding and severe colicky pain. This case study demonstrates the potential of homoeopathy in treating large urinary calculi.
