Kidney stones are hard deposits comprised of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys.
Diet, too much body weight, some health conditions, and some supplements and medications are among the several triggers of kidney stones.
According to WebMD, not all kidney stones need treatment. If a stone is small, a person may be able to get rid of it when he or she urinates. But to speed up the stone’s passage, you can:
1. Drink water
Between eight and ten 8-ounce glasses will prevent minerals from building up in your urine. Aim for clear urine.
2. Take over-the-counter pain medications
Ibuprofen or naproxen sodium can help ease discomfort. But only take it if you are instructed by your doctor.
3. Get a prescription
The doctor can prescribe you a medication known as an alpha-blocker. It helps relax the muscles in your ureter, the tube that carries urine from your kidneys to your bladder, so you can eliminate the stone more rapidly and with less pain.
