To Painlessly Dissolve And Pass Your Kidney Stones CLICK HERE!
98% of kidney stones pass on their own. I have included a link that was very helpful to me in understanding these very painful and annoying clusters.
In about 85 percent of cases, kidney stones are small enough to pass during urination, usually within 72 hours of symptom onset. The best treatment for these stones is to drink plenty of water (as much as 2 to 3 quarts per day), stay physically active and wait. Painkillers may be prescribed to help alleviate the discomfort associated with passing a stone.
For patients who can pass a stone without medical intervention, urinating through a strainer may be recommended so that the stone can be recovered and analyzed. The mineral composition of the kidney stone will dictate appropriate treatment and future preventive measures.
Stones that are too large to pass on their own or that may cause bleeding, kidney damage or ongoing urinary tract infection may need surgical treatment.
Other then surgery there is Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) This procedure is the usual treatment to remove stones about 1 centimeter or smaller. Mayo Clinic was among the first medical centers in the United States to use shock waves for treatment of kidney stones.
Patients lie on a cushion during the procedure. In many cases the stone will begin to crumble after 200 to 400 shock waves. The sandlike particles that remain after treatment are easily passed in the urine.
The shock waves are painful, so the procedure is performed with sedatives, local anesthesia or general anesthesia.
Speak with your doctor concerning options for you!
Honestly, I was diagnosed with a kidney stone 4 years ago, and I did everything in my power to dissolve it. I drank apple cider vinegar (acid dissolves calcium, the most common type of stone) every day for a month. I put lemon juice in my water. I drank distilled water. Drank mixtures of olive oil and lemon juice. Did everything I could, but I never really knew if I had dissolved it or not. It’s difficult to prove something like that. Until about 2 months ago – it dislodged from my kidney and got stuck in the ureter, resulting in extreme pain like I had never felt. It didn’t pass on its own, and they had to go in through my “you-know-what” and blast it into pieces with a laser. Then I had to live with a stent stuck in my ureter for 6 days, with a string that was connected to it hanging out the end of my “you-know-what”. The most miserable 6 days of my life. The removal of the stent hurt like nothing else.
The best you can hope for it that it will pass on its own. It will hurt like hell moving through the ureter, but once it’s in your bladder, passing it should not be a problem (your urethra is larger in diameter than your ureters).
