Q: My father was diagnosed with an 11mm kidney stone in his right kidney after an ultrasound. He isn't experiencing any pain or discomfort. Do we need to consider surgery or can this be treated with medication?

11mm is a big stone. It is unlikely to pass on its own. Better to get it removed

Q: Im 36 years old and have a 5mm kidney stone. Can Neeri tablet help me pass the stone, and how long should I expect it to take to work?

Usually 5mm stone will be passed out in urine no need to worry consume more water and follow your doctor advice.

Question 1

I woke up with severe pain and was diagnosed with a 10mm stone stuck in my ureter at the EVJ. Do you think Ill need surgery or can it be treated with homeopathic medicines first? If homeopathy doesnt work, would lithotripsy be an option? The stone is likely uric acid, and my family has a history of uric acid stones.

Accepted Answer

For a 10mm calculi stuck in the ureter, it is unlikely that homeopathic medicines alone will be effective in passing the stone. Surgery may be necessary in this case, especially if the stone is causing severe pain or obstruction. Lithotripsy, a procedure that uses shock waves to break up the stone, may be a suitable option for a 10mm stone. However, the choice of treatment will depend on various factors including the specific characteristics of the stone and your overall health. It is important to consult with a urologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

Question 3

I have a 16mm stone in my left kidney and a 6mm stone in my right kidney. Is it possible to remove them without surgery?

Accepted Answer

The 6mm stone in your right kidney is likely to pass on its own with hydration and medical expulsive therapy, but the 16mm stone in your left kidney is larger and less likely to pass naturally; for the larger stone, surgeon may recommend shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), ureteroscopy, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) to break up or remove the stone, depending on its composition, location, and your overall health; consult a urologist or nephrologist

Regular Exercise: Encourage regular physical activity, like walking, to help control BP and blood sugar.Medication Adherence1.

Diuretics: If prescribed, ensure your father takes diuretics as directed to help control BP.Monitoring1. Regular Urine Tests: Schedule regular urine tests (every 3-6 months) to monitor albumin levels.2.
