Kidney problem
I had a 6mm stone stuck in my right ureter and was operated using uteroscopy for the same last year...since then every month I am having regular sonographies done and have had no instance of stone post that...i recently got a sonography done in which my right kidney came out to be slightly smaller in size and my right renal tube had mild fullness...what does this mean? Is this something to be worried about? What is the cause of this?

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 your urologist for further advice.....
