One can increase water intake along with lemon juice. You are recommended to drink 12 glasses of water in a day to speed up the stone passing process. However, if your stone size is more than 7mm then you may need surgical intervention.

Which fruits are good for kidney stone?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Left kidney shows mild hydronephrosis due to 17.5 mm calculus in upper ureter. This is my report. Doctor says to do laser operation quickly to pass the stone as the other kidney may get damaged because it swells up due to the stone.
