Jade six mm kidney stone diagnosed last summer i did not have the recommended surgery can this be dangerous to my health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidney stone: It depends on where the stone is. A 6mm stone can sometimes be passed with plenty of hydration. If it is obstructing the pathway urine takes to the bladder, it may cause pain, irritation or even infection. However some stones form and are never symptomatic and then you just need to watch them.
