Hi,
Based on the facts that you have posted you have been detected to have a stone of the size of 5 mm in your Right kidney since last 8 months and does not have pain.
Majority of kidney stones (95%) except uric acid stones do not get dissolve at all. There are no medications that can dissolve the stone.
These stone either pass out through urine spontaneously or has to be removed or fragmented by intervention endoscopically depending upon the site of the stone, size of the stone and backpressure changes in kidney or collecting system and severity of symptoms like pain etc.
Normally stone up to the size of 8 mm can be expected to pass out spontaneously and dos not require any active intervention.
Consult qualified Urologist for clinical assessment and get following basic tests done
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Blood test to detect Serum Uric Acid levels.
Ensure to drink more water to produce more urine this will help to pass out the stone spontaneously.
Take antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin or Nitrofurantoin if there is evidence of infection in urine detected on urine analysis.
Repeat Ultrasound Scanning every 2-3 months to assess the site and size of the stone.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
