I've been dealing with some mild pain and discomfort in my perineal area for the past month. It kind of feels like something's trying to push its way out, and there's this sensation of stretching inside. I went to a urologist, but he suggested I see a neurologist instead. What could be going on with me?

Found a 5.7 mm stone in my right distal ureter near the UV junction on a CT scan. I've passed stones before but no pain right now. Is this one small enough to pass on its own or will I need surgery?

A 5.7mm kidney stone in the distal ureter, close to the ureterovesical junction (UVJ), has a chance of passing on its own but may require medical intervention. The exact likelihood of spontaneous passage depends on various factors, including the stone's shape and composition. While you haven't experienced pain, it's essential to monitor for signs of infection or pain and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance
