A member asked:
I had a kidney stone that has made it to my bladder. it was just noticed on ct and is 5mm. what are odds of passing w/flomax and lots of water?

Pretty good: if this stone has made it to your bladder, assuming you have no urethral stricture or blockage at your prostate. You should strain your urine and, if stone is recovered, show it to your doctor. He might want to run some tests on it.
