Dear Doctor, I am 41 yr old male and just now received ultrasound scan abdomen report. It says: Right kidney 10x5.5 cm, calculus measuring 4.2mm in lower calyx and left kidney 10.5x5.5cm calculus measuring 3.3mm in mid calyx. Kindly advise what precautions I have to take related to food n fruits. Also does it need surgery or proper medication will solve this. Best regards, XXXX 0000

Hello,

Kidney stones less than 5 mm generally pass through the urine without surgery. You should stay under treatment & try to pass it out within 6 weeks. Stones bigger in size may require ESWL or surgery, if neglected it may complicate to renal failure. Take about ten glasses of water each day to help your urine stay clear, your treating doctor will give you alpha blockers to relax ureter so that the stone passes out without any intervention.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
