Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
Urologists never prescribe these herbal remedies,as most people haven't had any improvement and return with larger stones or complications.
So,i will ask you to give you details like:
1. your blood reports including,CBC,creatinine,RBS,calcium,phosphorus,uric acid,and platelets.
2. ultrasound-KUB, or CT scan,plain or CT-IVU.
According to the reports,i can give you an expert opinion.Drink about 3 litres fluids daily.If you've any doubts,send reports,as a direct question to me.
