Please advise if i should continue homepathy.if yes then can you recomend some good practitioner of homepathy. Regards Ashim Saha

Hello ashims,

If you have that big a stone, you should not have tried homeopathy in the first place. What homeopathy medicines do is that they usually promote the expulsion of renal stones. But one has to keep in mind that only stones small enough to pass thru urethra can come out this way. Normally 5 to 6 mm stones are the maximum for that to happen. A stone of 1.8 cm size cannot even come down the ureter.

My suggestion for you would be to go for lithotripsy for this one. This pocedure breaks the stone in fine pieces which come out naturally. After that, you should consider taking some constitutional treatment from a homeopath to prevent any recrrence of this.

Wishing you health,
Dr. B
