Wait for 3-5 days and take some analgesics. If pain not subsiding or if it increased in intensity get a ct scan.

Yes. She can undergo the surgery after completion of ATT. At least, it will improve the quality of her life by reducing fre1uency and urgency. And regarding PCNL or ESWL .it entirely depends upon position, size, completion of the stone.

Best way to completely remove a 9 mm stone from kidney is to get RIRS done by a urologist. It is endoscopic removal of stone which does not involve any incision or stitch.

Health Query

I have renal calculus of 4.5 mm in lower calyx of my right kidney. I never felt any severe pain due to this, only very mild pain sometimes. I'm in a profession in which getting medical clearance certificate is vital. The authorities conducting medical for this profession have asked me to get this stone completely removed to provide medical fitness certificate. I have tried my level best - done 3 sessions of ESWL, taken medicines prescribed by various doctors. But still the stone did not get remove. Then I decided to go for PCN or arthroscopic surgery to get this removed, but none of the doctor that I met are prescribing such surgeries on such a small stone. Now I am left with 7-10 days to report back to medical authorities and I have no idea what to do to remove this stone in just 7-10 days. Please guide me. I will be very thankful to you for your help as my job is at stake.

Health Query

My wife was operated for removal of right lower ureteric calculi (8.5 mm) on 26/10/2007 by eswl therapy. And she was ok. Again after gap of 10.5 years, on 24/04/18 (present age 67 years), she complained about pain due to left lower ureteric calculi (7 mm) problem, though she was not operated but hydro therapy was applied. Still calculi (around 3 mm, after hydro therapy) is within body, is it harmful? Also whether her body has become calculi generator (though after 10.5 years) or it is natural process of calculi getting formatted inside body? On its own?

Hi sir, you ask mam to drink plenty of water and juice. Take banana stem juice in empty stomach. This helps in reducing the size of calculi and prevent further occurring. If you have doubt in preparation of stem juice ask me if will help you.

Asked for male, 21 years old from Bhubaneswar

I was having a 6.7 mm kidney stone previous year in month of december. That time the stone was stuck in ureter so I was operated with eswl surgery. But now this year 2021 (august) I felt pain in left back side. Then I did ultrasound and also ct scan and result was there was a 8 mm stone in lower pole of left kidney and a 2 mm stone in left puj. My doctor prescribed tamfil s and said no need to do surgery and said no need to be worried. But my question is whether there will be any problem if that 8 mm stone stays inside for long time I mean for months? My age- 21.

Upj stone and kidney stone of 8 mm needs some therapy. Lower pole stone are not amenable to eswl. They need endoscopic removal. 8 mm is somewhat bigger stone. Your total stone load is 8+2 mm = 1 cms. Guidelines say 1 cms renal stone require intervention. Also you will need metabolic workup after stone removal to assess the cause of recurrent stone formation.

The 16 mm stone needs treatment. Maybe ESWL which is a non invasive non surgical method can be done.
