A member asked:
Does drinking coconut water daily helps in dissolving my 7mm proximal ureter calculus? as i don't want to go for invasive therapy
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is nothing you can injest that will dissollve a ureteral stone. A 7mm stone is not likely to pass spontaneously all the way to the bladder. Shock wave lithotripsy is a non-invasive and generally effective treatment with proximal ureteral stones.
