How do you pee out a kidney stone?

Kidney stones are like the ninjas of your urinary system: small, powerful, and lurking in the shadows until they strike. When you finally pass a kidney stone, it can feel like a victory worthy of celebration – but let’s be real here, it’s also downright painful. So how do you actually pee out one of these little monsters? Let’s break it down step by step.

Symptoms Of Kidney Stones

First things first: let’s take a look at what happens when you have a kidney stone. As that sucker makes its way through your urinary tract and towards your bladder, you might experience some or all of these delightful symptoms:

• Intense pain in your back or side

Alpha blockers have also been known to help pass stones more quickly and less painfully by relaxing specific muscles in your urinary tract thereby inducing passing of stone without much ado, but it is important that you seek a doctor’s advice before initiating any treatment.

What About Surgery?

Very large kidney stones may require surgical intervention (sometimes only way to get rid of some very unwanted guests too) so show love to your surgeon if you ever find yourself needing one 😉.Options such as tunnel surgery ureteroscopy lithotripsy ancotomy may be options provided upon consultation after vetting through past medical history determined whether this route would be best for the patient or not.

So if jiggling around on one leg helps take your mind off things until you’re ready for action,why not?

In summary however,this is a myth hence does little next-to-nothing medically towards helping better facilitate passing out a kidney stone ,so our focus should seek solutions rather than dancing around unable to find comfort from this misfortune
