In some types a lithotrity machine can do wonders. Is basically being bombed with ultrasounds while taking a long bath, so could even be doable to DIY at home if you have some maker skills and for some reason can't go to a doctor.
The main concern should be to take serious care of not being electrocuted, put the speaker far and out of the water, protect your ears and assure that everything is well isolated. Using a 12 volt car battery as source of power could add a lot of safety.
Read a book for some time and then urinate into a piece of cloth in a strainer to see if it collects some sand. Rinse and repeat after some resting days for several weeks.
Or you can go to a discotheque
- dtgriscom 4y agoA DIY lithotripsy machine sounds like a reeeallly bad idea...
- Earwig 4y agoI don't know if this comment is intended seriously but just to be clear. Lithotripsy can cause acute tissue damage and long-term loss of kidney function.[1] The shock waves need to be carefully targeted at the stone and for the correct amount of time to reduce the risk of this, typically with X-ray or ultrasound. You can absolutely not do this at home! [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2900184/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2900184/
