What Do My MRI Scan Test Results Indicate?
Hi, I have a history of kidney stones only in my left kidney. I am a 57yr male in good health, but have suffered from stones since I was 10yr. The recent MRI scan shows three stones, low, mid and high in L/H kidney and also stones in prostate. The largest kidney stone is 20mm or 3/4 inch I want to try Chanca Piedra but am concerned about the effect of this herb on such large stones. Your opinion is appreciated Regards Richard

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query
Chanca piedra have been known to treat kidney stones in some cases though its 100% efficacy has not been proved. Since the details in MRI report has not been fully enlisted here, I would recommend you to consult with a Urologist for proper physical examination and a lithotripsy in case of small stones.
Meanwhile, It would be better if you could increase your water intake to an extend of 2 Litres per day.
Hope this helps
Thanks you
