Answer 1

Hi There

Kidney stones are more common during the summer, possibly due to concentrated urine caused by increased sweating and insufficient fluid intake. In general, mild chronic dehydration can play a role in the development of kidney stones. Chronic stress can also play a role.

Kidney stones that are high in calcium may be a signal of hyperparathyroidism (excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone). In serious cases of kidney stones an ultrasound that fractionalizes and breaks down the stones may be advised. See your medical doctor for more information about this.

Natural Cures

Aromatherapy: Hyssop and juniper essential oils can be helpful.

Ayurveda: Cumin, coriander, and fennel tea. Drink one cup three times a day.

Diet: Diet alone cannot get rid of the stones. Higher-than-normal levels of oxalate related to a diet high in oxalic containing foods, such as rhubarb, spinach, leafy vegetables, and coffee, can promote kidney stone formation. High levels of dietary refined carbohydrates can also cause kidney stones. Sugar stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, causing increased calcium excretion through the urine. Other dietary factors that cause increased calcium excretion in the urine and promote stone formation are increased intakes of coffee, colas, acid-forming diets (such as high protein and grains), insufficient water intake, and excessive salt consumption. Soft drinks containing phosphoric acid can also encourage the formation of kidney stones and should be completely eliminated.

The most important dietary actions are to increase your intake of pure filtered water, fiber, and green vegetables, and reduce refined sugar consumption. Foods that are helpful in decreasing kidney stone formation include cranberries, black cherries, rice bran, kombucha tea. In addition to avoiding sugar, also avoid or reduce your intake of salt, dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, refined carbohydrates, nuts, chocolate, pepper, and animal proteins.

Herbs: Combine the tinctures of gravel root, cornsilk, wild yam, and blackhaw in equal parts and take one teaspoon of this mixture three times a day. Or drink one cup of an infusion of nettle three times a day. Other useful herbs include uva ursi, horsetail, and dandelion root.

Homeopathy: Berberis, and Sarsaparilla are both useful homeopathic remedies.

Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments.

Juice Therapy: The following juices can help stimulate the overall health of the urinary tract and potentially flush out the stones: lemon juice; carrot, beet, and cucumber juice with a dash of garlic and/or horseradish; and/or cranberry and watermelon juice.

Nutritional Supplementation: Helpful nutrients include: magnesium, vitamin B6, vitamin C (keep your total daily intake below 6 grams to avoid increasing oxalate formation), vitamin A, proteolytic enzymes (away from meals), raw kidney glandulars, fat-soluble chlorophyll, lipoic acid, and the amino acids glutamic acid, lysine, and methionine.

Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating kidney stones: Acupuncture, Ayurveda, Detoxification Therapy, Reflexology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Ultrasound.


Best of health to you

You should go back to your Urologist, be completely honest about your diet, health and family history...etc. Whether you are able to pass the stones should be based on IVP , MRI, and/or CT-Scan of the kidney. Oftentimes stones are either too small to break up to get out or in an unreachable area on the kidney. In these cases you will have to just pass it naturally by drinking lots of fluid. I use a urine hat along with material resembling cheesecloth over it so that when I urinate the grainy substance will be captured in the cloth. People think when you pass a stone it will look like a removed stone...not! It keeps breaking down and shaving off producing a sandy-like substance until the stone is no more. So after your urine settles in the container, you should see sand .. like from the beach. If there is blood, you might have developed a kidney infection or the passing has irritated the housed area. And yes, passing the stone is very, very, very....to infinity painful. I use to take Ultram until I became allergic to it. Now I use Darvon and Tylenol together....I don't know why but it works...at least to take the edge off because nothing takes the pain away entirely.
Be sure to get diagnosed and tested routinely, follow the directions and get a referreal to a Kiney doctor if and when needed. Good Luck

I would have to agree with the others and say you need to get a new urologist. I went through a period of time where I got new kidney stones each month and my urologist got me in right away to have lithotripsy (electro shock therapy) to break up the stones so I could pass them. Some things that helped me in the past are drinking lots of cranberry juice, drinking water with lemon in it, hot or cold, using a heating pad on my back and a ice pack on my neck ( I was nausous from the stone, and it really helped alleviate it). Also, do you take birth control? I took bc for 5 years and when I started getting kidney stones on a more regular basis, my doc suggested I stop taking birth control for a while and after a few months, the stones stopped. Make sure to monitor yourself for fevers as well because this can be a sign of an infection. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

Answer 6

Sounds like you need to find a new urologist!!! It can very well cause pain in your groin and back. If it hasn't moved and you've tried drinking tons of water, you may want to ask your urologist or a nephrologist if lithotripsy may be something you would be a candidate for. Good luck. I've had kidney stones before and to me, the pain is worse than labor.

Answer 7

There will be much less pain once the stone has left the ureter and gone into the bladder. Passing a 2-mm stone out of the penis would cause very, very little discomfort. Stay active, drink 2 liters of fluids until you pass the stone completely (100 ounces daily afterward to prevent future stone formation by 83%) and take pain medications if you need them.

Answer 9

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.
