Does himalaya cystone help to remove kidney stones? i have lower pole 7.5mm kidney stone. could it be possible to pass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The only short term study of effects of the herb cystone on kidney stones showed that it had no effect. A 7.5 mm lower pole stone has an almost zero% chance of passing. The best option for this stone is percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Good luck.
