What Is The Treatment For Non Obstructive Kidney Stone With Dull Pain?

I have a non obstructive kidney stone. I have good days and bad days. Good days, there is just a dull pain and a feeling of fullness, on bad days it feels like I am starting to pass a stone then after a few hours the pain will go back to a dull pain. I have passed 3 stones in the past 4 years, so I am very aware of the pain they cause. Is ther anything I can do or do I just have to suffer through it?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

The stone in your kidney is not causing any obstruction at present and does not require any specific medication in the absence of any symptoms. However you might choose to follow instructions below to avoid any more stones in your kidneys and to cause the stone to disappear.

DOs for kidney stones
(i) Drinking as much as 1.5 to 2.5 liters) a day may help flush out your urinary system. This will also allow small stones to pass through.
(ii) Visit washrooms regularly and empty your bladder when you feel like doing urination.
(iii) Please take fruits like apple, papaya, watermelon, pineapple, mosambi, bananas and orange, vegetables like, white gourd, ladyfinger, pumpkin, pulses like toor dal, moong dal, bengal gram
(iv) If you are having pain and burning during passing urine then you can take ALKASOL syrup 15-30 ml twice or thrice daily, dissolved in water for one week. This will prevent acidic urine and stone formation.
(v) If you have sharp pain then you can take tablet containing hyoscine (eg HYOCIMAX 10 mg or HYSCOPAN 10 mg) twice a day for 2 to 3 days, till you have pain. Though side effects are rare, please consult your doctor and take these medications under strict supervision.

DONTs for kidney stones
(i) Please avoid holding urine for long intervals.
(ii) Please reduce foods containing oxalates like non veg, vegetables like spinach, tomato, cauliflower, brinjals, nuts like kaju, pista and almonds.
(iii) Decrease extra salt in foods.
