At a site devoted to the discussion of kidney stones (because you can find everything on the Internet), I came across the following remedy (for men) to hurry the passage of a kidney stone.
Drink at least one liter of water as rapidly as possible. Then drink a beer (strong diuretic). Resist peeing until you can’t anymore. Then go to the bathroom and lightly squeeze the tip of the penis to prevent going right away, allowing pressure to build in the urethra. Then release.
Worked like a charm! Pen point shown for scale. Kinda roundish and brown with a gnarly tooth-like projection in the center.
Whew.
Bigger (if you dare).
looks like a turd with a tooth. maybe an alien pod! yikes! i don’t want that in our house! its scaring me.
Seems as if knowing some good ol’, simple, home remedies can be beneficial. Cost effective also.
I knew it had some merit because I heard it first from the ER nurse.
