Can 5.6mm Kidney Stone Be Removed Non-Surgically?

Patient's Query

I'm 22 year old female... I have 5.6mm kidney stone.. how can this remove without surgery

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Managing a 5.6mm kidney stone without surgery is possible in some cases. Symptoms may include pain in the back or side, difficulty urinating, or blood in urine. To help pass the stone, increase fluid intake, particularly water, and consider dietary adjustments, like limiting salt and animal protein. Over-the-counter pain relievers can provide relief. Sometimes, medications called alpha blockers may aid stone passage. However, it’s vital to connect with a nephrologist for tailored advice and to monitor your situation.

Dialysis patient in one years

Male | 34

For a dialysis patient unwell for a year, it’s important to stay alert to symptoms like fatigue, swelling, or difficulty breathing, as these may indicate the dialysis isn’t working effectively. This can happen due to missed treatments, not taking medications, or poor diet choices. It's essential to consult the dialysis team to address these issues and adjust the treatment plan for better health.

I am a kidney patient GFR61 and creatinine 1.08 level CKD stage 2 now Can my kidney function improve and can my kidneys get cured completely and recover without any side effects and without any further damage by Homeopathic medicines and treatment faster

Female | 70

In CKD stage 2, the kidney function is low and can be controlled. Homeopathy may relieve symptoms such as fatigue, edema, and high blood pressure. Still, full cure and recovery without side effects are not a warranty. To keep your kidneys safe, drink water, eat a healthy diet, and take your doctor's advice.

I'm Phil. It's been 12 days since I passed my 4mm kidney stone, and the pain has not gone away. I've had abdominal pain for the last month, sometimes around the bladder, right kidney, left kidney, and recently higher in the chest (on a pain scale of 2/10 to 6/10). It's always been on/off at random times throughout the day, but in the past week it's getting worse/more noticeable/more frequent. I think it temporarily goes away after I eat. I took a new CT urogram and my urologist says nothing is wrong with anything in my urinary tract. No more stones, no infection in my urine test, no swelling anywhere. I just started the antibiotic Bactrim, and extra strength Tylenol just kinda works. Ever since I got diagnosed with a kidney stone, I've been drinking tons of water, maybe 3L/day, and my diet is now low sugar/low salt/low oxalates/low caffeine, and I've lost like 5 lbs. My doctor and reddit threads say it's residual pain, but it should've left after 1-2 days. What could be causing this pain?

What type of disease is this symptoms, 1.swollen legs and hands 2.internal joints pain 3.feet and finger pain 4.smelly urine when peeing during swollen legs

Female | 27

Swelling of the legs and hands, painful joints inside your body, and also hurting feet and fingers can be caused by a condition called Rheumatoid Arthritis. The immune system gets confused and starts to attack the joints which are the reasons for the pain and inflammation. Smelly urine during swollen legs might be a sign of kidney problems. Enough water intake and medication are the ways to manage symptoms.

Hi doctor my name is Nishan mere choti bahan ki age 15 year h osko pathri ki problem h hamne bohot jagah se dwa khilaye h but jada farak ni pda I need help

Female | 15

Stone formation in the kidney can cause pain in the back, groin, or lower abdomen, nausea, and blood in the urine. Insufficient drinking water and particular diet habits can bring about the development of stones. Drinking enough water, not eating foods that are high in oxalates such as spinach, nuts, and chocolate, and getting professional advice are among the key points for further treatment.

Herbal Home Treatment for Kidney Stones and Fatty Liver One of the most surprising health benefits attributed to turmeric is the treatment of kidney stones and fatty liver. Turmeric has a compound curcumin which may assist in the disbanding of kidney stones and also reduce inflammation in the liver. However, always, it is your doctor who decides whether you can start a new treatment or not. Also, don't forget to drink more water so the stones will be easily removed.
