Home treatment is often the only thing you need to do when passing a kidney stone. Home treatment includes drinking enough fluids, taking pain medicine, and possibly straining and collecting your urine to help determine the type of stone you have.
Understand that some stones are easier to pass naturally than others. How readily a stone responds to home treatment mostly depends on the size of the stone. 1  Home treatments are usually effective on stones less than 1/10-inch (3 mm). 2  Once kidney stones reach about 3/10-inch (8 mm), they are only 20 percent likely to pass on their own with home treatment.
