Got it ð. Youâre **22 years old, with a 9 mm stone at the VUJ (vesicoureteral junction)**.
Letâs break this down:
---
### ð¸ Medical Perspective
* **Stones â¤5 mm**: often pass spontaneously with fluids + medicines.
* **Stones 6â9 mm**: about 50% may pass naturally, but it depends on **location, size, shape, and your ureter spasm**.
* **Stones â¥10 mm or impacted stones at VUJ**: usually need surgical intervention (URS, lithotripsy, or stenting).
Since your stone is **9 mm at VUJ (a narrow area where stones often get stuck)**, chances of spontaneous passage are **low but not impossible**. It can cause pain, infection, or
kidney damage if blocked too long.

### ð¸ Ayurvedic View
In Ayurveda, this is **Ashmari (Mutrashmari)**.
There are well-documented herbal combinations for dissolving stones and aiding passage:
**Effective Ayurvedic Medicines** (commonly prescribed):
* *****Kwath / ***Ghanvati** â breaks down & prevents stones.
* *****Guggul** â reduces inflammation, helps passage.
* ******(**)** â literally means âstone breakerâ, helpful for dissolving.
* *******/ ***kwath** â reduces swelling, improves urine flow.
* *****Vati** â classic urinary stone remedy.
* *****(*gram) soup** â very effective in disintegrating stones.

### ð¸ Home Remedies
* Drink **plenty of warm water** (not cold).
* **Barley water** or **coconut water** daily.
* ***dal (***gram) soup** regularly.
* Fresh **sugarcane juice** in moderation (flushes urinary tract).
* Avoid **tomatoes, spinach, brinjal, tea, excess salt** (stone-forming foods).

### ð¸ Homeopathy
Some remedies are used like **Berberis vulgaris, Lycopodium, Cantharis, Ocimum canum**, etc. These may help in **symptom relief and expulsion** if stone is not fully impacted.
---
### â ï¸ When Surgery Becomes Necessary
* Persistent severe pain not controlled by medicines.
* Repeated urinary infections.
* Hydronephrosis (swelling of kidney due to blocked urine).
* Worsening kidney function.
If none of these are happening and your kidney function is normal, you can **try Ayurveda/Homeopathy for 6â8 weeks** with proper monitoring (USG KUB every month). If stone doesnât move or pain worsens â surgery is safer.
