The best mode of treatment for big sized kidney stones (7mm and more) is lithotripsy. Other treatments may include drinking 12 glasses of water so that small sized kidney stones can pass via urine.

What is the worst food for kidney stones?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

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?
