I have a 3 mm stone stuck in urethra. My doctor said there is swelling in one kidney because of this. He gave me medicine k cit and oxalo. He told me that if stone will not come out in 10 days I have to go for surgery. I am taking medicine since last 4 days. I don't  know if stone has came out or not but I am not feeling any pain.Should I go for surgery after 10 days or wait more? I don't want to go for surgery.

Less than 5 mm calculus can pass spontaneously, so no need to worry, get repeat  imaging after 10 days of medicines
Next Steps
Repeat imaging
