Beer is a known diuretic. After consumption of beer people tend to urinate more. This will help stones pass via urine. However, stones which are bigger in size may not pass through urine.

What types of foods cause kidney stones?

A 6.7 mm kidney stone has been detected near my sister uterus. I have attached the lab report for your reference. Could you please advise if this stone can be treated or passed without surgery?

Left kidney shows mild hydronephrosis. A calculus measuring 17.5 mm is noted at the left pelvi ureteric junction. Right kidney shows a non obstructing calculus measuring 8.6 mm in the lower pole calyx. Polycystic pattern is seen in both ovaries. Urine report shows albumin (+), pus cells 25 to 30, RBC 25 to 30, crystals calcium oxalate, epithelial cells 8 to 10. I am taking Berberis vulgaris, Pareira brava, and Clearstone. Please prescribe some good medicines to cure this condition.
