Common "Clear The Kidney Stone" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Clear The Kidney Stone

A kidney stone is a deposit made of minerals and salts in the kidneys. A urologist will employ shock wave lithotripsy to break kidney stones into small pieces. Most kidney stones pass on their own without treatment. Stones smaller than 4 mm takes around one or two weeks to get cleared, and stones larger than 4 mm take approximately two to three weeks to pass out of the kidneys. Drinking water, pomegranate juice, lemon juice, and celery juice helps in clearing kidney stones.
