Which Is The Best Way To Get Rid Of 6 Mm Calculi In Inter Polar Region Of Left Kidney?

I have a 6mm renal calculi in the inter-polar region of my left kidney. Am I able to pass this stone on my own? And if so what would be the best way to get it to move so that I might be able to get rid this stone. I also have a prescription of Flomax.

Hi
Thanks for your query.
The only proven therapy is drinking lots of fluids every day. This may help to flush out the stone.
It is worth trying out Flomax under the supervision of your doctor. Its results are modest at best.
Hope this helps
Good luck.
