In my experience of having a kidney stone i can offer a little information. when i went to the doctors they said mine was 3 mm n that it should pass on its own. so just go to your doctors and get a cat scan of how big it is. they should tell you if it will pass on its own or not. if its to big they will have to do a surgery on you. so just keep updated on it. AnswerI to am undergoing my own kidney stone experience. Mine will not pass and it is about the size of a large jellybean.
I just passed a 6mm stone, but have also been told that 3 and under usually pass on their own too - I think I'm on stone 15 or so to date. Mine are calcium-oxalate in nature. I have not changed my diet, I haven't gotten in the habit of increased water consumption. I have had only one procedure under general anesthesia with a uroscope/lazer and lithotripsy - I would rather not go through that experience again. I'm off do do some drinking now...water anyone?
Kidney stones can vary in size from the size of a tiny pebble, and up to and bigger than the size of an English pea. The larger kidney stones are "too big" to exit the kidney, and the smaller ones pass through the urinary tract with more ease.
I'm not sure. I just had a 4 ml and 7 ml removed from my right kidney, they're smaller then the one in my left kidney, and my roommate had a 3.5 ml stone. I was told the 7 was extremely large and they had to put a stent in me after taking them out.
It may sound a lot, but I think the largest kidneystone ever found in a human was about 700 grams. Almost a kilo.
Hmmm. I just read an article about a coconut sized one. Allmost 2,5 kilo.

I have just been diagnosed with having a 1.2 cm stone and the doctor told me that it is right on the border of being able to pass or not. He sent me home with pills to dialate my euretha and pain medicine. I am to drink lots of fluids and come back to him if the pain persists or I get a high fever. In the meantime, I am waiting for a call on my referral to the urologist.
In 2009 I had a Kidney stone removed in a two hour operation that was the same size as a Golf Ball. What would that be in metric! I have just found out that in the same Kidney I now have a 13mm stone plus a cyst.
generally speaking a kidney stone greater than 7 mm will be difficult to pass naturally a nickel is easily 3 times that size
my friend has a 20 mm kidney stone
If they are not bothering you at the time then by all means have a good time, it wont make them any worse.
NO. if you feed the toddler mineral water a large kidney stone will form in his/her kidney and it wont be pretty
You can eat the fluid that kidney beans comes in. It wont hurt you
I am not sure if males can die, but with females, a kidney stone can cause toxic shock syndrome which if I believe I'm right on my last test, yes can be deadly if un-treated. <><><> IF a stone blocks the urethra, you cannot urinate. Yes, that can be deadly.
he probaly wont
there mean thats why
no becase if someone is poor and your parents dont have a job you wont need another kidney.

Suicide wont pass any boudry but that of the end of a life.

All that tar and toxins cannot be hadled by the nephrons inside the kidney. They cannot purify the blood properly thus causing kidney damage.
yes you wont pass
