  4. 4mm kidney stone. To see a specialist?

4mm kidney stone

2021-06-29 12:00:07
I had a routine USG on 9th May in which a 4mm non obstructive kidney stone was found in my left kidney. I have no symptoms. I have been drinking a lot of water since then but I don't think the stone has come out. Because I didn't feel any pain since. And I have heard that it pains when the stone passes. So do I need to see a specialist? Or wait some more time.

If you are not having any symptoms- it’s best to wait and watch. But if you’re having pain or any urinary complaints, It’s best to consult.

You need not worry of there is no pain. It is so small that you can not see with your eyes. It will eventually pass out with urine.
