Hello,

At 16 mm you will likely need it surgically removed. Lower salt and plenty of fluid are helpful for kidney stones. Okra, squash, is bad. Alcohol is not necessarily relevant to kidney stones.

Ironically a small amount of calcium (normal diet of green leafy vegetables, and a small amount of dairy) will help stabilize bone and keep minerals from going into the urine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
