Which food is best to dissolve a kidney stone (about 14 mm)?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Namaste. My name is Krishna, and I would like to understand my father lab reports, particularly related to the size of the kidney stone and the prostate. I am very worried about his health and would really appreciate your guidance.

Left kidney shows mild hydronephrosis due to 17.5 mm calculus in upper ureter. This is my report. Doctor says to do laser operation quickly to pass the stone as the other kidney may get damaged because it swells up due to the stone.
