A member asked:

How can i get cured from 6mm kidney stone which is non-obstructive on right kidney, without any type of surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Shock waves: Stones can be broken up with shock waves administered with the patient sitting in a tub of water. Does the urologist recommend leaving the stone in place as it is silent?
