The size of calculus is very important to decide whether surgery is required or not...If the size is below 4mm then by drinking water in sufficient amount per day will help to pass the stone through urine..The size between 4mm to 1cm can be dissolved and pass out through urine with internal HOMOEOPATHIC MEDICINES ... Surgery is not required..If the size is above 1cm then lithotripsy or surgical management is required..Let me know the size for further procedures...Thank you

Hi, You have not mentioned the size of the stones, but yes, if stones are smaller than 5-6mm, they can be passed in most patients, though some patients do experience pain and discomfort when the stones move down the hollow tube called the ureters. Stones larger than 10mm will have significant difficulty in spontaneous expulsion, while those between 6-10mm could pass, but would depend on other factors such as any anatomical obstruction, infection, nature of stone. Again, if stones are located in the lower pole of kidneys, they are less likely to pass than say, a stone located in the upper pole, and this is due to a combination of factors such as gravity and posture and internal kidney anatomy. A stone which has been impacted to the interior of kidneys and the ureters will have more problem in coming out, and if an imaging procedure has detected that the affected kidney is significantly swollen, it is not a great idea to wait too long for it to be spontaneously expelled. Hope I have been able to answer your question. Regards.
