can you show me a 6x4x1mm kidney stone. I was diagnosed with a stone this large 5 days ago and with the help of medications the doctor told me I would pass it. How long does it take to pass So far no stone and I am in so much pain, Any suggestions??? Thank you
HelloThanks for your query, based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have pain in loin due to kidney stone of a size of 6 mm. You have not mentioned the precise site of the stone. The pain that you have is due to obstruction to the flow of urine from kidney and accumulation of urine proximal to the site of impaction what is called as HY Chat Doctor.  There is no medicine that can fasten the passage of stone it will pass down spontaneously however it is very difficult to predict when that will happen. It may pass down within day or two or may take months also. If you have repeated episodes of severe pain and vomiting it is advisable to get it removed by endoscopic procedure what is called as Ureter Endoscopy.(URS). This will prevent further damage to your Kidney and will give belief from pain.
