A Planned Case of Cholecystectomy for Cholelithiasis, Managed by Homeopathic Medicine Carduus Marianus and Chelidonium Q: A Case Report

Case Report

Abstract

Cholelithiasis, commonly known as gallstone disease, is characterized by the formation of calculi within the gallbladder due to bile composition imbalance. It is more prevalent in females and often asymptomatic until complications like biliary colic or cholecystitis occur. Conventional treatment typically involves surgery, particularly cholecystectomy. Homoeopathy, however, provides a non-invasive, individualized approach that addresses symptoms and underlying predispositions. This case report highlights the effectiveness of Chelidonium majus and Carduus marianus in managing symptomatic cholelithiasis. The patient showed significant improvement in symptoms and gallstone size reduction, supporting the role of homoeopathy as an alternative or complementary treatment in selected cases.
