A Case Report of Simple Renal Cyst Treated with Individualized Homoeopathic Treatment

Abstract

Renal cysts are mostly asymptomatic and found incidentally on ultrasonography. However, they can cause complications like infection and enlargement which need surgical interventions. Spontaneous resolutions are rare. This case report shows complete resolution of left sided simple renal cyst measuring 2.27 cm x 2.00 cm in a 35 year old patient over a period of 7 months. Patient presented with complaints of pain in lumbar region, sour eructations, constipation and disturbed sleep since few weeks. Based on comprehensive assessment of the patient’s symptoms treatment was initiated with Nux Vomica 200 followed by Sepia 30 and Sepia 200 in accordance with symptomatic evolution. This case report shows the effectiveness of homoeopathic intervention in renal cyst when selection of remedy is based on the totality of symptoms. This case report can contribute to growing evidence supporting homoeopathy’s role in treating such cases and advocating further research to enhance it’s understanding and application in clinical practice.
