Tips to Pass a Kidney Stone

Are you encountering severe abdominal pain that is emanating to your lower back? And then, are you having a persistent need to urinate, despite the fact that urinating small amounts at a time is possible? Finally, are you noticing blood in your urine? Then you might be possibly experiencing kidney stone. Before consulting a urologist, here is what you should know about passing a kidney stone.

  • Drink a lot of water, as much as 1.9 to 2.8 liters every day. Water helps the kidneys by flushing them out.
  • Add lemon to your eating routine. As you might know, lemon has high citric acid content, which is powerful at breaking up of kidney stones. Once they are broken down, they become less difficult to pass
  • Reduce your salt and protein consumption. The intake of salt increases the calcium content in the urine, which can further complicate kidney stones
  • If possible, skip soft drinks, especially that with phosphoric acid. Such soft drinks will probably reduce the citrate levels in the urine, thereby complicating the issue. However, soft drinks that contain citrate might be acceptable
  • Stay active through regular physical activities. This can help keep kidney stones to pass.

If you are as yet not able to pass your kidney stone, we recommend you to consult the best urology doctors available in your area.  They can help you get rid of this vexing issue through proper medications. In the event that it is still not curable, they will recommend you treatments like percutaneous nephrolithotomy, ureteroscopy, and shock wave lithotripsy.
