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.

Dr. Vasanthasree Suggests...

Take a BETA-2 GLYCOPROTEIN-1 IgM Test or Take a MTHFR - (METHYL TETRA HYDRO FOLATE REDUCTASE) GENE MUTATION (HOMOCYSTEINEMIA) Test

I had a 6 mm kidney stone earlier and suffered severe pain with it. After drinking a lot of water, the stone passed into the urinary bladder and eventually the pain disappeared. Now after 6 months, I have dark colored urine and my report shows 15 to 20 red blood cells per high power field, but I have no pain and no fever. The urine culture report is negative. What might be the problem?
