The discharge time of sediment-like stones is related to the location and size of the stones as well as the specific condition of the patient, and cannot be generalized. In general, for urinary sediment-like stones smaller than 0.6 cm, the stones can usually be expelled smoothly in 2-48 hours through medication, such as oral lithotripsy granules, drinking more water, exercising more, and adhering to effective methods to promote stone expulsion; if the stones are larger than 0.6 cm, they usually cannot be expelled by themselves, and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy should be considered. In case of gallbladder sediment-like stones, they usually cannot be expelled by themselves. If the patient’s condition worsens, such as biliary colic, abdominal distension, nausea, or even fever, or if the stone tends to increase in size, surgery is recommended. In addition, patients should drink water regularly during the illness and avoid foods with high oxalic acid content, such as spinach, soy products, animal offal, etc.
