I'm dealing with a 6.7 mm stone lodged in the middle of my right kidney and mid ureter. I've been taking Berberis Vulgaris and Ocimum Canum, 10 drops each in half a cup of water twice daily. I'm really curious, how long might it take for the stone to completely pass? Do you think these remedies will effectively remove the stone?

I have a 5mm calculus in my right upper ureter about 5cm below the pelviureteric junction. Is there any chance it can pass on its own without surgery? Are there any medicines that could help with this?

A 5mm kidney stone in the ureter has a decent chance of passing on its own, but there's no guarantee. While some stones can pass naturally, others may get stuck and cause complications. There are also medicines that can aid in passing stones, but their effectiveness can vary
