Lots of fluids: The primary, unassisted method passing ureteral stones are through drinking lots of fluids and trying to develop enough pressure from the kidney output side to push the stone through. However, 8mm is a fairly sizable stone and it may not pass on its own. Recommend seeing a urologist who may be able to help break up the stone with external sound waves if it does not pass on its own.

Large: That is a large stone that should be addressed by a urologist. However, it is always good to stay hydrated. If you have no contraindications to large amounts of fluid intake that would be your best bet.

Here are some ...: There has been no known home remedy to help ureteral stone passage, especially for an 8-mm stone. So, please consult the urologist for individual detail.

Too large: You need a urologist. Can hopefully be removed by minimally invasive procedure like ureteroscopy & laser ablation. No home remedies like consuming large volumes of water will work.
