General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for writing in HCM.
After going through the description, what treatment has been instituted for kidney stones is only conservative line. Hence it will not cure you permanently.
For that you need to consult Urologist and undergo 'lithotripsy'.
Lithotripsy is a procedure that uses shock waves to break up stones in the kidney, ureter or bladder. After the procedure, the tiny pieces of stones pass out of your body in your urine.
Wish you speedy recovery and good health.
