Abstract

Stones lodged in the narrow lower part of the ureter can lead to acute abdomen often necessitating urgent surgical intervention. In routine medical practice, the classic manifestation of acute renal colic includes intermittent, colicky flank pain that may extend to the lower abdomen or groin. This discomfort is frequently accompanied by nausea and vomiting. The homeopathic remedy Lycopodium clavatum is notable for exhibiting symptoms characteristic of nephrolithiasis, as well as prominent hepato-biliary symptoms. This case report shows evidence of expulsion of the calculi, prompt relief in gastrointestinal symptoms, and a reduction in gallbladder inflammation in a 28-year-old female with significant ureteric calculi, cholelithiasis, and lower urinary tract symptoms.
