Is there any way to dissolve kidney stones?

Please do not ignore this or wait for it to dissolve on its own. I kept taking local herbal drinks thinking it would go away, but the stone ended up blocking my kidney and causing a severe infection. Go to a urologist immediately and get a scan before it turns into an emergency.

I literally just got over a 6mm kidney stone last month, and the pain was no joke. My doctor put me on specific syrup and tablets that help dissolve uric acid stones and relax the ureter to let the stone pass. Do not try random remedies, just get a prescription because the treatment depends on the stone type.

Before you spend on expensive laser treatments, ask your doctor if it can be dissolved or passed with medications. Getting a basic ultrasound and kidney function test is actually quite affordable in govt or local diagnostic centers, so do that first to plan your budget and treatment wisely.

My doctor explained that only certain types of stones, like uric acid stones, can be dissolved with alkalizing medications like potassium citrate. Calcium oxalate stones usually can't be dissolved but can be passed if they are small enough. You need a proper urine and stone analysis to know which type you have.
