Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank You for consulting HealthcareMagic!

Treatment for kidney stones depends on individual to individual, based on symptoms you are experiencing (since how long and how troublesome they are), what conservative measures have been tried, how long did the stone stay there and along with physical examination findings. After going through the findings of your reports, personally I think that you might need treatment procedure like ESWL which is endoscopic shock wave lithotripsy. But a physical exam is mandatory to decide the type of treatment you need. You can discuss about this with your treating Urologist.

Stay healthy and thank you for consulting! You can contact me again anytime, if you need clarifications or further assistance in future. Kindly rate the answer if you are satisfied.
