Is Passing Of Kidney Stones Through Urine Possible?
Question: I passed what I believe are 3 small kidney stones all less than .5mm a few days ago now I have what appears to be sand in my urine.
Brief Answer:
Are you in pains? Please, continue to drink much water, at least 3L/day!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these stones that you have reported. I have reviewed the attached image and it is suggestive of kidney stones. Please, keep them well and report to the doctors for analysis as the composition would tell what the cause is and what measures can be instituted to help prevent further stones.
For now, continue to drink massive volumes of water. This will ensure that urine is not too concentrated and would prevent further stones from forming as well as help is moving any small stones in the urinary passages down and out of the body.
I will also like that you get in contact with your primary care doctor for initial evaluation. The cause of these stones must be investigated and managed accordingly.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

I have never had issues with stones until recently, I do have history of repeat UTI's one a few months ago came back with 100,000 e coli. Also would stones like these and the sand its just like sand when I pick it out of the toilet cause me to urinate frequently and cause blood assuming stones are irritating urinary tract. I was trying to keep them but my husband accidently through them away I had them in a baggie so if more show up will give to doctor.
And not in pain just pressure when I passed the stones. They are very small.

Brief Answer:
Stones are known to cause recurrent UTI’s.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Stones are known to cause recurrent UTIs. This might have been a missed clue from your doctors. Stones doe not cause frequent urination. I believe the fact that you are drinking more than usual to help cleanse the pathway and move stones is the reason why. However, this frequent urination should be in large volumes and not small volumes.
Also, stones often cause blood in urine. If you have witnessed blood in urine, then this is more in line with the story of kidney stones.
I hope this addresses your query fully. Let me know what your thoughts are at this time.
