A member asked:
Can you leave a 7mm x 4mm stone in the upper uthera? been there for 3 mths and causing no problems. is it safe to leave alone and will it pass?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: If the stone is blocking the ureter it should be removed even if there are no symptoms. Blockage to the flow of urine will damage the kidney. Please consult a urologist. It is not safe to leave it alone.
