I have a kidney stone of about 98 mm, which I've had for the past 2 months. I haven't had much pain, but I'm worried about whether the stone will pass on its own without treatment. Some people say that even after treatment, the stone might come back. Ive been drinking a lot of water and coconut water, and I feel a little better now. I also walk every morning and do some light exercises. My doctor mentioned that the stone is almost 1 cm, and it wont pass without treatment. Are there any foods I should avoid, like tomatoes, or any other advice on managing this?
Kidney stones of 9-10mm usually don't pass on their own without treatment, especially if there is no severe pain. While drinking plenty of water and staying active are great for kidney health, it's important to follow your doctor's advice for treatment. To avoid recurrence, limit foods high in oxalates (like spinach, beets, and chocolate), salt, and animal protein. Regular check-ups are crucial for monitoring your condition.
