A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO!: A kidney stone, once diagnosed by x-rays, mri, ultrasound etc. Should be treated asap. A small, asymptomatic stone can be treated with hydration, exercises and repeated x-rays. Larger stones can damage the kidney and you may lose a kidney if you wait 1 year.
