Hi, everyone! As the title states I was told by my GP few days ago that the ultrasound showed multiple small stones in both kidneys- two of them are bigger - 5mm in right kidney and 3.7mm in left kidney. I was obviously shocked and asked what are the next steps to which they replied- nothing, drink lots of water, no need for medicine…
HUH!? I am scared 😭 I have passed two stones before (or at least I think as I haven’t seen any, but the pain was excruciating and also had blood in the urine, both times ended up in a hospital for painkillers) I am so concerned and I don’t know what to do. Any advice? Any herbs I can start drinking?
I drink D-mannose as I used to get UTIs quite often. Now I am thinking could stones cause UTIs too? 🤔

Marvin1989Apr 12, 2026Hot hot baths, and I feel Epsom salt also helps. I like lavender scented Epsom salts. My stepmom has also been applying moxibustion patches (a Chinese herbal remedy) on me. She put 10 on me last night cause my nausea has been so bad post laser litho surgery. One on each shin, one on the inside of each wrist, 2 on my stomach (one on belly button, one below) and 2 on the front right side of my pelvis (where my stent is) and 2 on my right flank. I didn't get up to puke that night, finally 🤷♀...
