Hello.

If a kidney stone is too big to be passed naturally (6-7mm in diameter or larger), you may need to have treatment to remove it another way.
This could include:
extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL)
ureteroscopy
percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL)
open surgery

Consult a specialist.

You need to be investigated like urine rm and urine cs and serum creatinine and serum calcium and serum uric acid and x-ray ivp, stone can be removed by surgery like pcnl or by eswl or by open surgery, take plenty of fluids orally whole life.

If a kidney stone is too big to be passed naturally – 6-7mm (about 0.23 to 0.27in) in diameter or larger – you may need treatment to remove it another way. This could include: extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) ureteroscopy.

Non-invasive lithotripsy is a treatment procedure for kidney stones. Non-invasive lithotripsy is a shock wave treatment that breaks up stones into smaller pieces that can pass out of the body in the urine. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (eswl) is the most common type of lithotripsy.

There are few painkillers like acetaminophen and antispasmodics available to relieve the pain in pregnancy. Nsaids are contraindicated. Right now conservative management would be better as surgical procedures carry many risks in pregnancy. Also eswl is contraindicated in pregnancy.
Take 2-3 litres of water per day. Avoid high protein (meat, fish) and high oxalate (spinach, beet, soy products, almonds) containing diet.
