I have an 8.33 mm kidney stone stuck in my ureter about 7 cm from the bladder. Is there a chance it can pass on its own or will I need surgery? I'm currently taking Elements Uri flush syrup but not sure if it's enough to help

An 8.33 mm kidney stone stuck in the ureter, 7 cm from the bladder, has a lower chance of passing naturally, but it's not impossible. While the Urology Associates of Central Missouri indicates that stones larger than 6 mm rarely pass on their own, the precise location and other factors can influence the outcome. Your current use of Elements Uri flush syrup may help, but it's crucial to consult a urologist for personalized advice and potential treatment options.
