Software Engineer Recovers from Kidney Stones Without Surgery
After reading about Dr. Shah and Life Force Homeopathy online, Ms. R.Y., a software engineer (Patient ID: 54443), went to the Chembur clinic with her mother. A few days ago, she complained of abdominal pain, and a USG of her abdomen revealed that she had renal calculus and cholelithiasis (a gallbladder stone).
She had intermittent mild abdominal pain and no other significant symptoms related to renal calculus, but she had experienced two to three episodes of fever and abdominal pain from gallstones a few days before she visited the clinic. She began treatment for both complaints to prevent recurrences and to alleviate symptoms.
She also had a complaint of epilepsy for which she was on conventional treatment.
Physical generals:
She had a mixed diet with more preference for nonveg food and a desire for spicy and tasty food with a complete aversion to milk and sweets. Always loved the cool climate and was not at all comfortable in damp and hot weather. With her menses regular, she had no other complaints. She had a sound sleep, but late sleep disturbed due to distress she had because of the pain she had been suffering from for a few days.
She was a software engineer working with a reputed company with a good family background; her father retired after working with Raymonds for many years; her mother was a homemaker; her brother was working in Dubai; and her younger sister was also an engineer working with an MNC. She had a very good childhood full of happy memories, and she was well supported by her parents in her dreams and career building.
But lately, she has become quiet and introverted, with few friends, and irritable by nature due to the stress of work. However, she loves and enjoys talking to her close ones and shares everything with her sister.
Had a history of tuberculosis, had a strong family history where her father had diabetes, hypertension, and heart ailments, and her mother had an underactive thyroid.
After studying her case, Dr shah prescribed her LYCOPODIUM 30
She has explained the scope of homeopathy in both her health complaints and also recommended some dietary changes and lifestyle changes to help heal and manage her work stress. She was advised of certain blood investigations to rule out nutritional deficiencies, and also her thyroid levels were checked as she had a family history of underactive thyroid.
- USG abdomen (13/4/2024)
*Gall bladder calculus (evidence of a hyperechoic focus at the neck, size 16.0mm)
*Mild pole calculus in LT kidney size 4.7 mm
Follow-ups-
In the follow-up On June 27, 2024, two months later, she reported that her abdominal pain had subsided, but that she still experienced frequent bloating and gases after consuming large meals.
In the follow-up completed on August 22nd, 24, there has not been any abdominal pain since the last checkup, but there have been two episodes of diarrhea and persistent bloating after meals.
In the follow-up done on 22nd Oct 2024
USG (20.10.24)
Gallbladder - hugely distended
There is evidence of a hyperechoic focus on the neck measuring 13mm s/o calculus. Also, a sludge ball is noted at a fundal aspect of the gall bladder.
Kidney-
There is no evidence of Renal calculus, or hydronephrosis in both the kidneys.
The gallbladder stone had shrunk from 16 to 13 mm, and the USG revealed no renal calculus. Her symptoms were getting better.
During the follow-up on December 27, 2024, she reported that she had no other pains, simply a slight stomach ache when eating meals outdoors. To avoid the recurrence of renal calculus and to alleviate the symptoms of her gastrointestinal problems, she is continuing treatment for both of them.
Conclusion:
This is where homeopathy could help avoid surgery in cases of renal and gall bladder stones, but in some cases where the size of the calculus is bigger or having severe symptoms, surgery is recommended.
