Can you pass a 7mm kidney stone?

It may depend on the type of stones you have. I have passed 7mm & 9mm kidneys stones (oxylate) without being hospitalized. Once it gets out of your kidney your home free! Good luck and be aware you may have large blood clots follow. I passed one huge calf liver sized (like they slice em at the butcher) clot that was more amazing than the stones themselves. Hope you got some toradol and percocet and maybe even skelaxin.

Can a 8m kidney stone lodged in lower kidney come out by itself?

No. Kidney stone under 4mm are likely to pass without minor surgery. Anything above that would cause severe pain and would likely need a doctor or urologist to remove. There are many different procedures that can be done. I had a 7mm stone and had to have surgery for removal. I beg to differ here...upto 6mm stones are nto to be touched and they are supposed to come out on their own. Drink lots of fluid and avoid foods causing stones.


What is the best solution to cure kidney stones?

To remove stones from the kidney, most doctors advise lithotripsy which uses sound waves to blast the stone into smaller pieces that are easier to pass. This is better and much easier to recover from than the invasive method of cutting into the kidney and removing the stones.
