Abstract

Urolithiasis is one of the most common clinical conditions worldwide, affecting more than 10% of the population in industrialized countries. Renal calculi produce severe renal angle pain, radiating abdominal pain, dysuria, cloudy urine, and nausea. Modern treatment modalities are effective but expensive, and recurrence remains a major concern. A 39-yearold female with symptoms of flank pain, burning micturition, and increased urinary frequency for 5 days was clinically and sonographically diagnosed with a 14.2 mm renal calculus. As per Ayurveda, the condition correlates with Mutrashmari. The patient was treated with Virtaradi Kashay, Shweta Parpati, and Hajrul Yahuda Bhasma. Significant improvement was noted in both subjective and objective parameters. USG after treatment revealed reduction of the stone from 14.2 mm to 6 mm. Conclusion: Ayurvedic management shows promising results in Mutrashmari with reduced dependency on invasive procedures and minimal side effects.
