How to help pass a kidney stone male?

Question

I've been diagnosed with a kidney stone, and the doctor said it's small enough to pass naturally. What are some effective ways to speed up the process and manage the discomfort while I wait for it to pass?

Haan na, kidney stone pain is so bad that even strong men start crying. Drinking barley water or coconut water regularly helps some people to clear it out. But don't keep waiting at home if the pain is too severe.

Aditya Rao · Answer

Passing a kidney stone depends entirely on its size, so getting an ultrasound scan is the first step. Drinking ample water helps flush smaller stones, but you must consult a urologist to ensure there is no urinary blockage.

I have dealt with kidney stones twice in my life, son. The secret is to keep a water bottle with you always and keep drinking. Also, avoid heavy salt and spinach for a few weeks until this passes. Take care.

I made the mistake of ignoring a mild back pain thinking it was just gas, and ended up in the emergency ward with extreme kidney pain. Please get a proper scan done right away. Don't wait for the pain to become unbearable.

Vikrant Joshi · Answer

I get so scared thinking about the stone getting stuck and damaging the kidneys permanently. Please monitor if there is any blood in your urine, as that needs immediate medical care. Don't take any chances, just check with a doctor.
