I found out via CTscan of my abdomen that I have a 5 mm kidney stone sitting in the bottom of my left kidney. I noticed blood in my urine almost 4 weeks ago and that is when they decided to do the CTscan. I have seen a urologist and he says he is going to give it a week before pursuing other treatments. I was just wondering if other than drinking lots of water is there anyway to help it move along? Does exercise help "release" it? Thanks in advance for any help!

Pls suggest some natural ways to pass kidney stones
I found this very informative and thought my contacts might want to live a longer life so please read this:
EATING FRUIT…
It’s long but very informative
We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It’s not as easy as you think. It’s important to know how and when to eat.
What is the correct way of eating fruits?
IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS! * FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH.
If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.
FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD. Let’s say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so.
In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil….
So please eat your fruits on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining – every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc – actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat!
Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes all these will NOT happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.
There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.
When you need to drink fruit juice – drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don’t even drink juice that has been heated up. Don’t eat cooked fruits because you don’t get the nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.
But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look!
KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.
APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.
STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.
ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.
WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene – the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.
GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes.
Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer! Can u believe this?? For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this ’sludge’ reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

How To Pass A Kidney Stone
I am seven weeks pregnant with kidney stones in both kidneys. (multiple stones). Its been two weeks and ive felt a stone down in my right ureter that just doesnt seem to be going anywhere. I just want them to pass. Has anyone experienced a kidney stone during pregnancy and what’s the longest you’ve carried the stone before passing it. Two weeks seems like a long time. Also if down the line i have to have a stent put in, are stones able to pass while you have the stent in? I have so many unanswered questions and im only in the first trimester of my pregnancy. Please help!!!!!

How To Pass A Kidney Stone
I woke up today with SEVERE pain. I barely made it to the ER. They told me I have a 4mm Kidney stone. Also it will pass on its own. I might be wrong about the mm. I know they said ‘4′ somewhere in there. I was in so much pain I could hardly listen. Anyway, they told me lots of water and motrin. Will the stone hurt when I pee? This was almost 12 hours ago. Still hurting. Is there anything else I can drink to help it along?

How To Pass A Kidney Stone
My friend and I were debating on whether or not if a man has passed a kidney stone or more that it will make him better in bed. I say no, she says yes. The only relation I see is that the stone comes out through their penis & they use their penis during sex. She says if a man has passed a stone, he can get an erection faster & stay harder longer. She said she’d rather conceive a baby with a man that has passed a kidney stone, I say it wont make a difference. My bf had a stone & he said it was the worst pain he’s ever had. He described his ordeal by saying that he had to stand over the pot & aim his dick at a strainer and piss out a sharp, hard rock! Any women out there have a preference when it comes to conceiving? I highly doubt it.
back in october, i passed my first kidney stone. a month later, i passed another. a week and a half ago, i developed a bladder infection and it has been off and on since then. i took some azo and an antibiotic i found for a sinus infection and a lot of the pain would subside and my urine wasn’t cloudy or smelled anymore. but then a few days later it come back. i noticed yesterday i still had pain when i was done peeing.
now i’m experiencing sharp pain below my bellybutton and in my lower back, but i’m not sure if my bladder infection has turned into a kidney infection or if i’m possibly passing another stone. i actually have a doctor’s appointment today at 10 AM for a physical, but what could be going on?
Hi.
I have a 2-3 mm stone that was diagnosed on Dec 1st in the ER when I had excrutiating pain…was told I passed the stone from my kidney. 1st stone ever, have no clue what is going on, scared and was set for surgery today! I postponed to next Tuesday.
I had a CT Scan at the ER on Dec 1st showing the stone in the left ureter. I had a CT-Scan/IVP on Dec 19th showing the stone at the entrance of the bladder. No swelling in my kindeys.
It has been over 5 weeks now since the ER. I have had 2 bouts of antibiotics for infection – blood in my urine (only seen by me as a little string in my strainer) but told blood in my urine with urinalysis. No cultures grew though.
I have tried the fluid/activity increase – lemon juice straight and mixed with oil – coke/asparagus – NOTHING is working. I can’t seem to pass this small stone and I am scared and over anxious aboout surgery and stent placement. The stone is slowly moving obviously, but hasnt passed since the CTScan-IVP

Contractions vs. Kidney stones?

How To Pass A Kidney Stone
so i keep hearing that labor contractions r usually this annoying pain in the lower back, but i’ve had kidney stones for years now, the first time i ended up in the hospital bc one got stuck on the way out, and the pain was horrible, although over the years i’ve gotten used to the pain of the kidneys hurting while passing a stone, and someone told me that she had kidney stones too and she told me if i’ve went through that pain, that labor will be nothing comparing to that.
so, from ur personal exp. if u’ve given birth and have had kidney stones before, was it similar? or which one hurt more?
