6.5 mm kidney stone may pass with hydration, tamsulosin, and pain meds—if stuck or causing infection, lithotripsy or laser surgery may be needed.

I've got a 7.5mm stone causing wave-like pain in my lower back and abdomen how can I pass it naturally or do I need surgery? Could it damage my kidneys or other organs if it stays too long?

A 7.5mm kidney stone causing wave-like pain in your lower back and abdomen is likely to require medical intervention, such as surgery, or procedures like lithotripsy to break it down, as it's less likely to pass naturally. If the stone remains lodged in the ureter, it can cause severe pain, increase the risk of infection or kidney damage, and potentially impact other organs over time.
