Clinically smaller urinary stones can be expelled naturally from the urethra by drinking water and exercising, while larger kidney stones need to be expelled from the body through the urethra by means of medication and surgery.
Whether kidney stones can be expelled naturally is related to the size of kidney stones. Kidney stones below 4mm can be eliminated naturally by drinking water and urinating more often, together with proper exercise, such as walking up and down stairs and jumping rope.
After the formation of kidney stones in the body in the renal pelvis, first of all, it will be gradually discharged downward through the peristalsis of the ureter, and the stones will usually enter the bladder, and then through the urine flushing, the stones can be discharged from the body.
However, if it is a larger kidney stone, it needs to be discharged through conservative treatment methods, suitable for stones with a diameter of more than 6 millimeters, which can be chosen from medications such as Nephrolithon granules, or minimally invasive surgery or open surgery.
Patients in the use of drugs to expel stones, should be used correctly under the guidance of the doctor, to avoid blind use of drugs to cause adverse consequences.
