Stones of 5-7 mm have a 50 per cent chance of passing spontaneously. Calculi larger than 7 mm are unlikely to pass unassisted. In general, smaller stones are more likely to pass spontaneously. But a stone may take days or weeks or even months to pass.
Tricks and tips to expel stone
1) Take fluids in abundance: Drink lots of liquids so that kidney stones usually pass on their own. It increases the speed of the movement of a stone through the urinary tract. If nausea and vomiting is there, IV fluids can be given. Usually, when IV fluids are administered (3 pints) at a fast rate, it accounts for 1,350 ml of fluid. But drinking one litre of water at a time is well and good. The principle is to take a lot of fluids at a time to flush the stone out.
2) Pass the urine forcibly and speedily after getting the bladder filled up so that the stone in the pathway may get down faster with suction force and turbulence.
The early you treat, you get speedier and complete cure. In all natural way of healing, the immune power is increased against diseases so that recurrences are avoided. When the cure is not in the proper way, the disease often recurs. There are many drugs in Homoeopathy which relieve pain, to expel stones, to break stones, and for its associated complaints. Some of those are Beri beri vulgaris, Ocimum canum, Lycopodium, Sarasaparilla, Pareira Brava, Calc carb, Urtica urens, Nat phos, Terebinth, Belladona, Dioscorea, Cantharis, Hydrangea, Millefolium, Uva ursi etc., Depending upon the symptoms present in the patient, drug selection differs.
These Homoeopathy medicines not only relieve pain but also treat the condition permanently. The homoeopathic approach is a natural way to help the body by supporting the body’s own process of healing. In recent days, people are aware of Homeopathy’s miraculous cure which is permanent and safe. This is the right time for the wise to get rid of their complaints without any torture (like injections or surgeries) and live healthily.

i am the queen of kidney stones! very painful yes, if you are unable to pass them ( drink lots and lots of cranberry juice) some stones are just too big to pass no matter how much you drink, so if they are causing you pain you can get the litotripsy, it is sound waves to beak up the stone into smaller pieces then you pass them, my stone cracked but would not bust up so i had to have it removed which I will never ever want to go through again. Had a tube hanging out my back for a week that leaks, ( urine) and everything you own will be wet . After tube was removed i was left with a hole in my back, they dont stitch it up, and it still leaked for another week. Yes it is painful, but more of a nuisance then anything, I had to keep pads on my back with tape and after about the 3rd day my back was bleeding from removing the tape , so if you can pass them on your own do it! if you can have them crushed opt for that, use the surgery as a last resort. good luck to you!
