Question 1

i have 8 kendystones will i pass them?

Accepted Answer

Pray: You can with little or no pain! size, location among other signs predict fairly well whether you may or may not be able to pass them on your own.

Question 2

what are kidney stones and what causes them to pass?

Accepted Answer

Lots of fluid: Kidney stones are solid matter from overconcentration of substance from low urine volume/fluid intake, high secretion, low ph, and other factors.  An increase in your fluid intake up to at least 2.5-3 liters per day can help dissolve the stone regardless of type.  This increase in fluid will help it pass, if it hasn't on its own.

Question 3

how do i pass kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

Time: If the stone is a passable size (5 millimeters or less), given time, the ureter which it is passing through will contract to pass the stone through into the bladder. You should maintain adequate hydration and be aware that most stones pass in the first 48 hours if they are going to pass on their own.

Question 4

can you pass 6mm kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but.....: Yes, I have seen patients pass stone that is 9mm in diameter.  However, many 6mm stones do not pass on their own.  The likelihood of passing stone greater than 4mm decreases with increasing size.

Question 5

could you describe how do you pass kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

Painfully: Kidney stones are more common in men, and have further to go along the longer male urethra.  

Not all kidney stones are passed, some remain, some need surgical treatment for removal or ultrasound treatment in help of breaking them down to smaller, more passable size.

The kidney stones are passed by the fluid current along the ureter, and then by the bladder muscle's pressuring urinary stream.

Question 6

can you pass kidney stones naturally? if so, how?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but: You need your doc to follow you because passing a kidney stone can be an extremely painful experience.  Also, if it gets stuck while moving it can be very dangerous.  W/professional help you will be ok.  Peace and good health.

Question 7

could you tell me ways to pass kidney stones at home?

Accepted Answer

Drink lots of water: Dr might prescribe tamsulosin to dilate ureter & make stone passage easier. Hope you have seen urologist to advise if stone/s is/are small enough for you to pass on your own.

Question 8

how long do kidney stones take to pass?

Accepted Answer

Quite Variable: Several factors, primarily stone size and patient anatomy, determine how long a stone will take to pass.  Larger stones generally take longer to get to the bladder.  Stones larger than ~5mm are at higher risk of getting stuck in the ureter and requiring intervention to extract.  Scar (stricture) in the ureter also decreases the chance a stone will pass.  Good luck.

Question 9

please tell me how long it takes for kidney stones to pass?

Accepted Answer

Depends on size...: Larger kidney stones generally take longer to pass, and can take days.  Contact your health care provider and consider a consultation with a urologist, if not already done, especially if it has been more than a couple of days.

Also, do you know you actually have a kidney stone?

Question 10

is it normal to continously pass kidney stones over a month?
