I have stone in the left kidney with the size of 4mm. It was been first diagnosed on mid of november.
Again i have check yesterday because again it causes a mild pain now the same stone with size of 5 mm.
What next can i do to get out the stone ???I'm taking more that 6 litres of water everybody.
A 4 to 5 mm stone is small and does not need any surgery. It will help to know where exactly is the stone present. Is it in the calyces of the kidney or has is come in to the renal pelvis. Any obstruction in the kidney arising due to the stone has to be regularised. If the stone is in the renal pelvis or ureter then it will come out by itself but can cause severe pain when passing through the urinary passages. Drinking 6 litres of water each day is adequate. A 5 mm stone is not a concern usually unless it is causing obstruction.

Hi, A 4 to 5 mm stone is small and does not need any surgery. It will help to know where exactly is the stone present. Is it in the calyces of the kidney or has is come in to the renal pelvis. Any obstruction in the kidney arising due to the stone has to be regularised.
