Kidney stones, how to get rid of them?
I am an American teaching English in Spain. My problem started out with a UTI, then I was untreated by the doctors here and they said it would pass, they said they dont like to give antibiotics for every little thing. I usually drink cranberry juice, and it goes away. Well this has been going on for 4 months now, and they recently found 2 kidney stones 5mm and 6mm. With socialized medicine the way it is, I have been in and out of doing blood and urine tests. Is there anything that I can do to help pass them quicker?? Please help thanks!!
I was told that I would be getting the shock thing done, but I keep being told that I need more bloodwork done and urine tests, and because the socialized medicine thing, I have to wait until APRIL to even see a urologist. Im read folic acid can break down certain types of stones, but I dont know…..

i knew when one of my friend got kidney stone the doctors used a medicine by which the stones where broken down into small particles by a powerful medicine and the stone was removed soon may be u must ask ur doctor about this good luck
5mm and 6mm seem pretty big to be passing. They need to give you one of those drugs that disolve them of use shock waves to break them up enough to pass. Kidney stones hurt baaad so I would threaten to beat them with a stick if they don’t do something now.
Extra corporeal shock wave therapy
ECSWT
It works real well
Ouch! You poor thing. I would try and go to another Dr if possible. That is way to large to be passing without any medication.
okay my uncles wife had many kidney stones and was going to do an operation….but some one told her to drink malt drink its like beer but without the alcahol..her doctor was shocked an amazed at the same time..now there gone..u find this drink at lebanese stores it comes in original flavour or apple
i think reducing u’r calcium intake will help supplemented with lots of coconut water
Indian food will help you get rid of your kidney stone as quick as in 15 weeks. If you are aware of Plantain (Banana) then go ahead – Cook any side dish out of Plantain Flower which falls down after the banana bunch is ripe. A side dish or soup made out of the stem of Plantain tree would also help. These two dishes are quite common and I cook these atleast once a week to avoid kidney / bladder stones in future. Avoid Tomatoes especially sour tomatoes are the main cause for kidney stones. Drink lot of barley water. and You can soak white oats ( 2 table spoons) in 500ml water in the night and stain it in the morning and drink this water in empty stomach every morning. but nothing helps as fast as the soup of plantain stem with a bit of salt and pepper to taste.
My friend always drinks a lot of cranberry juice and water throughout the day, and he has cut back on the calcium intake since kidney stones are calcium deposits. He doesn’t drink many beverages with caffeine now, and all this combined has seemed to help him manage his kidney stone problems.
SURGERY! or shockwave, or herbalmedicines, or FAITH in GOD, or drink a lot of water and not salty foods!
Kidney stones are build up of calcium. When there is too much calcium in your blood your kidney filters them out. While waiting for you to urinate they build up and stick together. I suggest you reduce your calcium intake. Drink less milk or whatever calcium sources you take. Also take in less vitamin D. Vitamin D makes 80% of calcium absorb into the blood stream after a meal. You naturally get vitamin D from sunlight. Drink a lot of water to dilute the calcium both in your blood and your kidneys.
So:
1) Drink lots of water
2) Reduce calcium intake
3) Less sunlight.
