Suggest Treatment For Kidney Stone

Dear sir, I m suffering from a 9.6mm kidney stone in my left proximal ureter causing mild hydroureteronephrosis. My doctor told me I have to go for stint operation to remove it. So how can I get rid of it? Do I actually need to go for operation? Or is there any medications available to melt the stone? Plz give a valuable suggestion ASAP. Thanks, Hari.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

treatment of renal stone depends upon the size and site of stone, in your case the stone is in proximal ureter so you have 2 main option available for the removal

1- start tablet alfuzosin 10 mg once a day daily, this drug dilates the ureter which helps the stones to pass via urethra

2- get endoscopy removal of stone via urotrescopy where a camera tube is inserted via your penis and it goes up into bladder and then into ureter where stone is visualize and it is manual broken and retrieve piece by piece.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
