How To Get Rid Of Kidney Stones?

Thanks a lot

Few weeks back i got a mild pain on my left lower abdoment

on consulting the doctor, i was told that there may be a possibility of a small stone

which could be treated with consumption of water to 3 lts per day (min)

i did follow it

and now i do not have a pain

but out of curosity i did take an ultrasound on my abdoment

the doctor happened to find that on my lower abdomen, there are 2 small stones

and its not obstructing as such

do i need to undergo treatement from a urologist?

or consumption of water will help to resolve this problem?

Please advise

Hello

Your findings suggests two small non obstructing calculus in left kidney.
Treatment of renal calculus depend upon many things like composition,position,size of calculus etc.
Small calculus may pass spontaneously with adequate hydration.
Initially you may need syrup like sodium and potassium citrate.
You are rightly taking plenty of water.

You may also need routine hemogram,random blood sugar,urine RE/ME.

Since size of calculus are small in your case,it is likely to be flushed out with hydration and sodium,potassium citrate syrup.

Get well soon.
Take Care
