The Process Of Passing A Kidney Stone

The main function of the kidney is to remove unwanted fluid and water waste from the body

. Kidneys are located on either side of the spine in the abdominal area and are about the size of person's fist. The waste is removed through urination and is stored in the bladder. It is then eliminated from the body through the urethra. Urine basically acts as a filter for various liquids and materials that enter your body. When components of the urine are unbalanced, a stone is formed in the kidney. Thus, kidney stones are formed from various substances like calcium and uric acid. Once the kidney stone has been formed, a person will experience severe pain in the lower back, bloody smelling urine, vomiting and urges to urinate. Also, if the stone results in infection, then it might cause fever and chills.

To elaborate further, the size of the kidney stone may vary. If the size is 4 to 5 mm then the stone can easily be passed, but if it is bigger than 5 mm then the person might require medical treatment.

This article talks about certain top-tips that prove to be very helpful in passing a kidney stone from the body. A kidney stone travels from the kidney, through the urethra into the bladder, and then finally leaves the body through the urethra.

- A person should pay attention to the amount of water they intake every day. Make sure that you drink 8-10 glasses of water so as to avoid formation of insoluble salts resulting in unwanted crystals. Thus, 2 liters of bottled water every day will help you prevent kidney stones.

- In case you want a break from drinking water, then go for some other fluids, such as lemonade. Lemons contain fiber and the critic acid will help dissolve kidney stones.

- You can also drink other juices, but especially those made from natural vegetables and fruits. So, you can go for carrot juice, grape juice, or orange juice. These juices will help dissolve cystine in the kidney.

- Try to avoid intake of foods the doctor has not prescribed. Go for fiber-rich foods as they have the capacity to absorb oxalates and excrete them from the large intestines.

- Keep your mind busy and focused so that your thoughts do not focus on the pain. Passing a kidney stone is as painful as undergoing kidney-stone surgery.

- Consult your doctor and ask for non-inflammatory medicine so as to avoid the pain and pass the stone.

- Avoid drinking coffee and soft drinks because they don't advocate urination and thus make you dehydrated.

Most kidney stones will pass without intervention from the doctor, but if a stone is very large and involves certain other complications as well, then the person should make sure to undergo surgery immediately, preventing it from worsening the formation.
