Stones in Kidney
I have been diagnosed with 8 mm ureteric stone in right ureter.USG report also showed mild hydronephrosis. The USG was done 13 days back, when I experienced slight discomfort in my back and lower abdomen.
Now today, Two weeks later I am feeling some pain in lower back area when deep breathing.Although pain is bearable.
Now my question:
1. Is that kidney stone is causing pain ?
2. Does hydronephrosis is increasing ?
3. How much my kidneys can bear, before any irreversible damage to kidney?
4.What Should I do ? I don't want any surgery.
Hello there. ....Most stones that cause renal colic are small and pass out with the urine in a day or so. You should drink plenty of fluids to encourage a good flow of urine. Strong painkillers are often needed to ease the painuntil you pass the stone. No other treatment is usually needed.
Some stones that form and stick in the kidney do not cause symptoms or any harm. They can just be left if they are small.
...... Consult urologist, they will do the needful.....
