Ureter stone of 6.5mm
I am having stone in my left ureter for the last 3 weeks. It is 6.5mm in size and hence trying to pass it. Taking Flotral 10mg at night and drinking 4 litres of water daily but still it is not passing. Also, it is now not giving much pain except such pricking thing only. My latest KFT shows 1.09 as creatinine level and Urea as 19 which is just below the minimum level i.e. 20.
Should I wait for some more time ot pass it or ask for some treatment?
Further, I prefer ESWL treatment but doctors I consulted are offering ureteroscopy via stent which I want to avoid.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

See, for a ureteric stone of this size to pass in urine is technically difficult as the lower ureter size is smaller than size of stone
Secondly, you are already on medical expulsive therapy and still it’s not coming out
Thirdly, Eswl is option only for upper ureteric stone
Next Steps
Ncct kub ( ct Scan to confirm the size and exact site of stone )
