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

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

can 6mm size kidney stone pass through urine?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Kidney stones come in many sizes and shapes. 6 mm is not very large and should eventually pass. Straining urine with kitchen strainer every voiding should eventually catch the stone which likely will look like a blood clot. It can get hung up in the ureter causing significant pain. There are ways to get it out if trouble passing, see urologist for that.
