How Can Kidney Stones Be Removed Naturally?

I have had kidney stones for a couple of years. I think I am trying to pass one now. I am in considerable pain but it comes and goes. The pain has moved down slowly. This has gone on for over six weeks. I hesitate to go to my urologist as he will just want to do a costly procedure. Last time it was Lithotripsy and cost $14,000. I have medicare, etc. but I still ended up paying close to $1,000. Anyway, if I let it move naturally, am I in any danger? Is it possible that it isn t a kidney stone? Is there anything else that would cause the same pain? Thank you, XXXX YYYY@YYYY

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to a kidney stone. Kidney stones are typically very painful. Most stones will pass on their own without treatment. In such as case the probability for a urinary tract infection is higher. I recommend to drink a lot of liquids and especially cranberry juice. I also suggest to use spasmolytics to relieve the pain.

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

Regards,
