Renal calculus(3.5mm)
I've had a history of Renal stones in the form that I was operated upon (PCNL surgery) in 2014 for a renal stone of size 18 mm in the right kidney. Since then, I've had no problems whatsoever. I am a seafarer and this small 3.5 mm stone was recently discovered in my left side which is hindering me to join a ship further. Allopathy as such doesn't have any medicines to "break the stone" and help it pass in the urine and the only solution am aware of is Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy which is non-invasive.
I am thinking about considering Homeopathy for a change.

stones less than 7mm generally pass through spontaneously without surgical intervention...Medical treatment of nephrolithiasis involves supportive care and administration of agents, such as the following:
Excessive water intake or IV hydration,
Nonnarcotic analgesics ,
Oral/intravenous narcotic analgesics,
NSAIDS (eg, ketorolac, ketorolac intranasal, ibuprofen),
Antiemetics (eg, metoclopramide),
Antibiotics (eg, ampicillin, gentamicin, ticarcillin/clavulanic acid, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin) to reduce possible infections,
Alkalinizing agents (eg, potassium citrate, sodium bicarbonate): For uric acid and cysteine calculi...Consult nearest urologist they will do the needful.
