I have a 6mm kidney stone and my CT scan shows it's 10mm in another part do I really need surgery or are there other options to pass it naturally
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 6mm kidney stone and a larger 10mm stone likely won't pass naturally and will require medical intervention. Surgery is generally not the first choice for 6mm stones, but it's often considered for stones of 10mm or larger, or if a smaller stone gets stuck and causes complications. Other options like medication, lithotripsy (shock wave therapy), or a procedure called ureteroscopy might be used before surgery, especially for smaller stones

Alpha-blocker drug therapy is usually the first step in treating bladder neck obstruction. Alpha-blockers, such as tamsulosin or alfuzosin, can help to relax the bladder muscles. A second type of medication, 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, may also be prescribed to treat bladder neck obstruction.
