What is Urolothiasis It is commonly known as kidney stone or urinary stone In sanskrit it is known as Ashmari In India, the stone belt occupies some parts of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Rajasthan
/ (tulyataamshmana yaanti tasmaatashmari vidu) Ashmari or calculus looks like small gravels/stones hence they are termed as ashmari
What are its causes s // ( . . ) 2. / s // ( . . ) Due to improper purification of the body and by following the improper diet and lifestyle, kapha dosha gets vitiated in the urine and reaches in the basti to form ashmari. According to charakacharya- the shukra dhatu in the basti gets dried up along with Pitta or Kapha dosha by Vata forms Ashmari like how Gorochana forms in Gallbladder of cow. 1.
Pathogenesis- samprapti 1. s / s // Vata-Pitta-kapha dosha enters into basti like how mutra enters into basti from Pakwashaya and with Upasneha nyaya Ashamari is formed in Basti.
/ // ( . . - ) When clear water is placed in a new mud pot, after sometimes some particles precipitates into the water, similarly in the basti ashmari develops- this explains the stagnation of the urine in the bladder due to bladder outlet obstruction like BPH etc can form calculus in the bladder. 1.
s / / It explains the crystallization process- when dry air along with the static electricity in the clouds forms the crystalls of water present in the cloud, similarly ashmari develops.
Purvaroopa - // Pain and discomfort in the bladder, urethra,testicles/external genital organs. Anorexia, dysuria, fever, debility, smell of goat s urine. Colour of urine appears like that of individual doshas and pain accordingly. urine appears non-clear, increased specific gravity.
Types Kaphaja 1. 2. Vataja 3. Pittaja 4. shukraja
Samanya lakshana Pain in the umbilicus,bladder, perineum, external genitals eithr in any one of them while passing urine. Obstruction to the urine stream Hematuria Urine appears clear as Gomeda or some crystals can be seen in urine. Discomfort or pain while performing the activities like running, swimming, hanging, swimming,riding on back of horse,camel.
Vataja Ashmari Vata and kapha dosha after combining together obstructs the urine and causes pain as a result person bites his teeth, presses navel, external genitals,anus and shouts due to pain. Has to pass urine after putting force. The ashmari formed is Shyava, hard, irregular,rough, it contains thorny structures like of kadamba Pushpa.
Pittaja Ashmari Kapha dosha along with Pitta dosha attends compactness and obstructs the urine and produces discomfort like burning sensation in the basti- medhra, feeling of hot air coming out of bladder. Ashmari appears like red,yellow, dark in colour and appears like seed of Bhallataka
Kaphaja ashmari The Kapha dosha attends compactness and increases in size and obstructs the urine and produces features like tearing type of pain in bladder, heaviness in the bladder and feeling of cold. Ashmari appears like hen s egg, pale-white colour, unctous to touch, large in size and like madhuka flower.
Madhuka pushpa kukkutanda
Shukrashmari Causes = shukraveghdharan or excessive coitus. The vitiated vata causes vimargagaman of shukra into medhra or vrushana and after drying it up forms the shukrashmari. The resultant ashmari obstructs flow of urine and causes dysuria, pain in bladder and external genitals, oedema in legs. On pressing the ashmari it gets broken into pieces easily.
Ashmari in children Due to kapha avastha more chances of forming ashmari Occurs in those children who follows life style and diet which increases and vitiates kapha Ashmari can be of any 3 doshas Due to thin bladder wall and under developing basti, ashmari is small in size and can be easily removed with instruments Due to non development of shukra dhatu, there are no chances of forming shukrashmari
chikitsa Newly formed ashmari can be treated with medicines Chronic- surgical removal
Medicinal treatment Vataja ashmari- pashanbheda,vasuka,shatavari,gokshura,bhruhati, kantakari etc drugs should be used in form of kshaar, yavagu,kwatha,milk,food etc. Pittaja- kusha-kasha-sara-gundra-itkata- morata(sugarcane root),pashanbhedh,vidaari- varahkanda- shaalimoola,gokshura,shyonaka,punarnava,shirisha,lo tus seed, evaru(cucumber) etc

Site of incision- vamaParshwa (left lateral) 1 yava(grain) distance from the sevani(perineal raphe). Incision should be adequate to remove stone While extracting the calculus, it should be brought out without crushing it. Otherwise it can cause recurrence. Instrument used is (curved forcep)
In case of female uterus should be protected, incision should not be too deep otherwise it causes vrana through which urine oozes out. Avoid damaging important structures like mutravaha,shukravaha,mutrapraseka,sevani, yoni,guda,basti.
