How to get a Kidney Stone to break up and pass?

I started passing stone fragments a month ago but then they stopped passing.
Have a Lithotripsy set for the 23rd and would like to pass stone before then.
any ideas?
Answer:
I'm sorry but they don't really break up on there own. U have passed smaller ones the larger is still hopefully floating around and not stuck in your tube. take some vicodine and go to bed
Also why is the doctor waiting until the 23rd if it is stuck in your tube than you could get backed up causing even more severe problems. U also have to worry about infection, please take your temp, regularly and if goes over 100 call your Doctor. be careful about drinking to much check with your doctor on that if it can flow threw where is it going to go. Not any fun GOOD LUCK
Pray.
drink things with citric acid, like grapefruit juice etc.
Yes, lots of prayer and time.
I had a kidney stone...when I was in the ER for it, they did nothing but hook me up to this 5 gallon IV of saline.WATER is the best thing you can do .flushes out your system.
Drink in moderation though...too much water at one time can dilute your blood too fast and make you very sick.Best advice...call and ask your doctor or pharmacist.
is by laser surgery and it's called vaporized! plus your a guy you don't want to be passing the stones before the lithotripsy procedure, is going to be extremal pain full.
If the stone is too big - you might not be able to pass it. However, drink lots. My doctor said to drink about 2-3 liters a day. Good luck - hurts like hell!
I've had two lithotripsies and one ureteroscopy. My only suggestion is to drink water (but as someone as posted, don't overdo it). Whether or not they'll pass depends on where they're located, how large they are, and what they're made of. If they're in the kidney itself lithotripsy is the proper procedure. If they're in the ureter a ureteroscopy should be done. Citrus drinks can help somewhat to dissolve crystals and prevent future stones, but won't dissolve existing stones. As for the pain after the litho, remember that people have varying experiences with it, and that your doctor will give you medication to ease it. Mine was very minimal. Your doctor, of course, is always the best source of advice. Take care and good luck.
