Homoeopathic Management of Renal Calculi with Mild Prostatic Enlargement and Genital Herpes: A Clinical Case Report

Abstract

A 35-year-old male patient presented with renal calculi as the chief complaint since July 2023. The case started as one sided disease having few symptoms. Ultrasonography revealed mild prostatomegaly with it. Also, history of genital herpes was revealed during case taking. The patient has taken allopathic treatment with only temporary relief. So the relevance of renal calculi with mild prostatic enlargement and genital herpes in a single case lies in their clinical overlap, diagnostic complexity and homoeopathic management challenges. The case was managed by Cantharis, Berberis vulgaris and Merc.Sol and Lifestyle modifications including dietary restrictions and hydration guidance. Over a period of six weeks, the patient showed marked symptomatic improvement. Follow-up ultrasonography after fourteen weeks showed no evidence of the calculus and even normal sized prostate. There are also no symptoms of herpes. It demonstrates scope of Homoeopathy in treating multi- system, chronic case and the need for further clinical research in similar multi-morbid presentations.
