A member asked:
Could 7mm kidney stone pass with meds and tons of water/lemonade w/o laser treatment/lithotripsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not.: Most stones 5mm or smaller will pass. A 7mm stone could pass, but may well not pass on its own. If you have flank pain, you may have an obstructed ureter and need to have the stone removed so you don't develop kidney damage or urinary tract infection.
