Does lemon juice help kidney stones?

Lemon juice peene se pathri mein thoda help toh hota hai, haan na. Citrate level achha hota hai usme. Par agar pain bohot severe hai toh direct doctor ke paas hi jaana chahiye, gharelu nuskhe tab kaam nahi karte.

It helps prevent new stones due to citric acid, but it won't magically dissolve large ones. Drink plenty of water.

I panicked so much when I first got diagnosed with a 4mm stone and thought I needed immediate surgery. My doctor reassured me that small stones pass on their own. He just told me to drink lots of water and lemon juice, and it passed naturally in two weeks.

Lemon juice can definitely help as a daily preventive measure because of the high citrate levels. But if you are experiencing severe lower back pain or blood in your urine, please don't wait. Go to the hospital immediately as these are red flags.

My brother had kidney stones last summer and we used to give him fresh lemon water every day. It definitely helped keep him hydrated, which is the most important part. Just make sure not to add too much salt or sugar to it.
