Question
Can a 9mm kidney stone be treated with just medication and fluids or is surgery necessary? I've attached my sonography report for reference what would you suggest based on the findings?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Most evidence suggests that stones less than 10 mm in diameter have a reasonable chance of passing through the urinary tract spontaneously. You may be offered medical expulsive therapy (MET) using an alpha blocker medication, such as tamsulosin.
