Question 1

please tell me, could a 2mm kidney stone pass without pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes it may: 2mm or lees kidney stones may pass without pain or minimal pain without any difficulty most of the time.

Question 2

how much water should i be drinking with a 2mm kidney stone? in simple terms how many cups should i be drinking through out the day i want this out!

Accepted Answer

2-3 liters/day: Hydration will help prevent this stone from growing and prevent future stones from forming.  Depending on where this 2mm stone is located, hydration may also help it to pass.  Size of the stone affects the likelihood of passage. Strain your urine and save the stone.  See a urologist.

Question 3

is masterbation with a 2mm kidney stone safe to do? i havnt had pain in a while. let me know. i just want to know if its safe to do.

Accepted Answer

Stay safe: As long as you aren't causing yourself pain, infection, injury or over-isolation, it's okay. Try to minimize your lust triggers like pornography and such. Your hormones are already raging at your age, no need to fuel the fire.

Question 4

i have a 2mm kidney stone found in my kidney lasthey week. when can i expect it to start moving and will it be painful?

Accepted Answer

Cannot tell when: Cannot tell when it will move, but it is likely to be painful. You may help your cause by drinking enough water everyday so that your urine is mostly colorless. It will help the stone move and prevent formation of more stones.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 5

is ureteroscopy a painful thing to go through. i have  a 2mm kidney stone. its in my left kidney. its moved a lot its lower down my back.

Accepted Answer

Ureteroscopy : This treatment for many stones involves using a small scope to look into the ureter (kidney tube).  The stone can be either removed or broken up with a laser.
After surgery there may or may not be a stent.  This is a thin, soft plastic tube to keep the ureter from closing.  Either way, you can expect some burning with peeing, urgency/frequency to peeing, mild pain in the side or blood in the urine.

Question 6

can a 2mm kidney stone get stuck? my doctor said he would not remove it because it so small?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If it's in the ureter and not moving after 10 days of tamsulosin, i would consider ureteroscopy.

Question 7

i have a 2mm kidney stone this is the first one i have ever had in my life. will it hurt when i pass it through my pee?

Accepted Answer

Yes you will : 2mm stone most likely you will pass with out any intervention , some times you will have severe pain , along with  small amount of blood in the urine , then you will be fine.

Question 8

i passed a 2mm kidney stone yesterday and now today seem to have frequent urination with what seems like very little flow. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: You should see your doc for a urine culture. You can rule out infection related to the stones.

Question 9

is it safe to fly with a 2mm kidney stone lodged in the lower pole calyx of the right kidney?

Accepted Answer

Renal stones: Small renal stones in lower pole calyces are less likely to spontaneously pass into the ureter.  If it did, you would likely pass it.  Generally safe to travel. If you were to be the solo pilot of a plane, i would have some concerns due to the severity of ureteral colic (despite the low probability).

Question 10

i have 2.2mm kidney stone i m just 20 please help me?

Accepted Answer

At this size: it should pass.  Assuming you have no other conditions that would predispose you to calcium or uric acid stones and this is your first episode, you should be ok.  Assuming that you have a calcium phosphate type stone, things to avoid are dehydration and foods that contain high calcium or phosphates.  Drink plenty of fluids, but avoid colas.
