Hi,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.
Your renal stone is 1.6 cms. It is difficult to treat it with medicines. Nor will such a big stone pass out normally through ureters after drinking lots of water.
Such a big stone needs to be removed by laser.
You can undergo lithotripsy which has good results for such stones.
Hope it sorts your problem and wishing you a speedy recovery.
