What Kind Of Food Or Liquid Will Help In Dissolving Kidney Stone?
What foods or drinks may I take to help disolve a 5mm kidney stone near my bladder? My Urologist is suggesting either lithotripsy or the scope method to take it out. Not crazy about either. I have had a lithotripsy once before, not looking forward to another. I am already on the normal meds regimen to help it pass, which it hasn t yet. Thank You. Jon P.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can take plenty of water to make the stone dissolve. About three liters water can be taken per day. Lemon juice and apple cedar vinegar can also help in kidney stones. If the stone persist or in case of repeated attacks of pain better to go for lithotripsy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
