hello! doctors say that i have got a kidneystone at a size of about 7 mm. what do you recommend me? thanks

Question

I have a kidney stone, but the doctor says I should wait a year; is this normal?

Answer 1

Depends: On the type of stone and why you had the stone. But as general rule drinking plenty of water is neccessary. Small asymptomatic stones can be observed

Answer 2

Have evaluation: I would recommend you goo the hospital and have diagnostic evaluation,.

Answer 3

Depends: We use lasers, shockwaves and sometimes medicines can help.

Answer 4

NO: Its a big stone and most likely will require some type of intervention. Rowatinex does not dissolve stones and does not replace surgery as the treatment option for stones. It promotes a diuresis and relaxes urinary tract spasm, thus assisting the passage of stones. It does not have a significant effect on clearance rate of stones after swl. However, it can accelerate stone passage with no sid ef.

Answer 5

Not likely: When a stone is bigger than 9mm there is less than a 25% chance of it passing. Yours is significantly larger. Talk to your doctor, based on the type, ultrasound waves to destroy, surgery to remove, or do nothing will likely be your options. Good luck.

Answer 6

Not likely: Is not likely that it 2 cm stone can be cured by any means other than by operative procedure. There are several options. See a urologist.

Answer 7

See a urologist.: The management of multiple kidney stones depends on the size, position, and location of the stones. If they are small & unobstructing, they may be observed. If treatment is necessary, many techniques such as shockwave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy and removal are possible. Large stones may require pcnl or percutaneous removal. See a urologist for assessment and evaluation.

Answer 8

Size matters: If they are causing no symptoms, there is typically no treatment except for recommending hydration. If the stones are causing symptoms and are too large, usually larger than 4 or 5 mm, lithotripsy can be performed or surgical intervention.

Answer 9

Kidney stones: Yes. Blood in the urine is very common with a kidney stone, especially one that is passing or has passed recently.

Answer 10

Yes: Renal stones can cause hematuria without pain if they do not pass into the ureter. Once they pass into the ureter, the tend to cause pain.

Answer 11

Yes, it can be but..: The presence of kidney stones has been known to be one of the causes for painless microhematuria, and at times, urinalysis (some 5% of times) may be normal even while stone is moving through the ureter with pain. But painless macroscopic hematuria could mean you have seen gross bloody urine with no pain as described; if so, you should be evaluated for painless gross heamturia ASAP. Bladder tumor?
