A member asked:
I have 5.5mm kidney stone on my left kidney its non obstructive. is it possible that can flash thru drinking lots of water and medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Whiles a 5.5 mm stone may successfully pass, it usually causes a great deal of severe pain in doing so. The stone may be treated with lithotripsy while it is in a non-obstructing position in the kidney.
