Kidney stone with 6mm size
I have been having severe back pain. I consulted the doctor. They confirmed that I have 6mm stone in kidney pipe. They suggested that take small surgery like blasting stone. Is it really required or will go with medicine ?

If stones less than 7mm generally pass through spontaneously without surgical intervention...Medical treatment of nephrolithiasis involves supportive care and administration of agents, such as the following:
Excessive water intake or IV hydration,
Nonnarcotic analgesics ,
Oral/intravenous narcotic analgesics,
NSAIDS (eg, ketorolac, ketorolac intranasal, ibuprofen),
Antiemetics (eg, metoclopramide),
Antibiotics (eg, ampicillin, gentamicin, ticarcillin/clavulanic acid, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin) to reduce possible infections...Consult nearest urologist they will help you further.
