I have non-obstructive kidney stones measuring 4 to 5 mm. What medications or treatments can help me dissolve or pass these stones?

Asked by Male, 45 · 10 hours ago

At 4 to 5 mm, your kidney stones have a very high chance of passing on their own. Since they are non-obstructive, we can manage this conservatively. First, drink plenty of water (about 2 to 3 litres daily) to help flush them out. To make passage easier, your doctor may prescribe an alpha-blocker like tamsulosin, which relaxes the urinary tract. For discomfort, over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen can help. Whether stones can be dissolved depends on their type; uric acid stones can sometimes be dissolved with potassium citrate, though calcium-based stones must be passed. Please consult your physician for a personalised treatment plan.
