In my experience of having a kidney stone i can offer a little information. when i went to the doctors they said mine was 3 mm n that it should pass on its own. so just go to your doctors and get a cat scan of how big it is. they should tell you if it will pass on its own or not. if its to big they will have to do a surgery on you. so just keep updated on it. AnswerI to am undergoing my own kidney stone experience. Mine will not pass and it is about the size of a large jellybean.
I just passed a 6mm stone, but have also been told that 3 and under usually pass on their own too - I think I'm on stone 15 or so to date. Mine are calcium-oxalate in nature. I have not changed my diet, I haven't gotten in the habit of increased water consumption. I have had only one procedure under general anesthesia with a uroscope/lazer and lithotripsy - I would rather not go through that experience again. I'm off do do some drinking now...water anyone?
Instructions:
Vitamin B 6: Vitamin B6 is essential for several reasons including helping the body make neurotransmitters. When it comes to kidney stones, vitamin B6 can prevent the buildup of excess oxalate, which is often the cause of stone. Studies have shown that taking 25 milligrams of vitamin B6 daily can decrease oxalate levels in the body and prevent stone formation. Since a large percentage of people who suffer from kidney stones get them again, it’s essential to decrease your chances of a future attack. If you prefer to get your vitamin B6 from your diet, good food choices include chicken, ground turkey, wild salmon and tuna.
