I found out I have a 6.7 mm stone in the mid pole calyx of my right kidney along with mild PCS fullness. How serious is this? Should I be worried? What changes should I make to my diet and medications? Will I need surgery for this?

A 6.7 mm renal stone with mild PCS fullness may pass with hydration, analgesics, and medical expulsive therapy, but close monitoring is essential.

I've been noticing recently that my urine flow seems to be slower than usual, and even after I finish urinating, it feels like I'm not completely done. It's a bit concerning because I keep expecting to have to go again soon, but it never really happens. Any idea what might be going on? Should I be worried about this, or is it something that might resolve on its own?

I went through your query...... Drink plenty of water. Water helps to dilute your urine and flush out..... Avoid drinks that may irritate your bladder. ....Avoid coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks containing citrus juices or caffeine until your problem has cleared. They can irritate your bladder and tend to aggravate your frequent or urgent need to urinate...... Consult Physician....
