This is your only option that is non-invasive. All of your other lithopsies are invasive therapies. People sometimes call this ultrasonic stone removal.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy


ESWL is the usual way to remove stones about 1.5 centimeters or smaller. Mayo Clinic was among the first medical centers in the United States to use shock waves for treatment of kidney stones.

The patient is partially submerged in a tub of water during the procedure. The doctor uses X-rays to monitor the location and status of the stone as shock waves continually pound the stone. When generated, each shock wave produces a loud noise, so patients wear earphones to protect their hearing. In many cases the stone will begin to crumble after 200 to 400 shock waves. The sand like particles that remain after treatment are easily passed in the urine.

The shock waves are painful, so the procedure is performed with sedatives, local anesthesia or general anesthesia.

At other centers the patient may lie on a cushion for the treatment. Mayo Clinic urologists use water for all ESWL procedures because the machines used to transmit shock waves through water generate more powerful waves, making it more likely that stones can be eliminated in a single treatment.

Some side effects of ESWL include blood in the urine for a short time after the procedure and minor bruising on the back or abdomen. Some patients may also experience discomfort as the stone fragments pass through the urinary tract, and others may need another treatment if the stone doesn't shatter completely. Most patients resume normal activity in a few days, but it may take months for all the stone fragments to pass.

Spontaneous (or non-invasive) stone passage depends on (1) stone size (usually 8mm is the cut off), and (2) stone location (top, middle and bottom 1/3 of the ureter (the tube that carries urine from kidney to bladder).
Stones in the lower third, especially if smaller than 5mm, will pass spontaneously in majority of cases. If it's in the middle or especially upper third, and larger than 8mm, the chance of that stone coming out on its own is less than 5%.
Apart from the lithotripsy (shock wave) and lithotomy, there is also ureteroscopy (where you pass a fibre optic camera/tube up into the urethra and into the ureter..in this procedure, they can either grab hold of the stone and drag it out, or use laser to break up the stone.
Conservative/medical treatment which have gained some attention in the past decade include the use of medications such as steroids, alpha antagonists (kind of a blood pressure medicine), and calcium channel blockers. Data gathered from several studies appear encouraging, but there is a general lack of large scale randomised controlled trials to convince urology specialists to take that approach.
I am a little concerned by the number of stones you have. Most people who have kidney stones have only one, and may have it once or twice. You seem to have predisposing and underlying problems with your kidney or your metabolism. You ought to get that sorted out because chances are, even after you've had your stones taken out, you may have recurrence....thjerefore, it's important to find the cause, and prevent it.

I think that the 10mm one will have to be removed by surgery. I had one that size and it was the only option for me. Afterwards everyone kept telling me that lemonade is good to get rid of kidney stones. Something about the acid in it. Worth a try I guess.

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.

They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!

This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.

It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.

My dad had gall stones before and the doctor told him that the only way to get rid of them is to remove them surgically. Stones are solid objects, so unless you dissolve them in acid (!!!), you may have no other choice; my dad asked the doctor the same question.

pain control takes first priority and may require the sue of potent analgesics administered by IV or ingected into muscle. in many cases, the stone migrates downward and finally into the bladder, where it does not cause further pain.
