Hi Doctor, I have 5mm kidney stones on both sides and Im looking for treatment options that dont involve taking tablets. Is there any non-medication treatment that could help with this?
Most stones that cause renal colic are small and pass out with the urine in a day or so. You should drink plenty of fluids to encourage a good flow of urine. Strong painkillers are often needed to ease the painuntil you pass the stone. No other treatment is usually needed.
