Kidney swelling due to stone in Ureter
Hello Doctor,
My mother is diagnosed with 7.5 × 4.5 mm stone in left upper ureter and hence is having swelling in the kidney. One doctor suggested doing CT scan and operation and another one suggested to have plenty of water. As per him stone will be removed naturally.
My question is that shall we go for the natural way?? Won't it have any harmful impact on kidney as we will have to wait for some time in it happening??
Also advice if Ayurveda can help in this issue. Thanks.
