I had a 4 mm kidney stone located in the ureterovesicular junction - CT scan. Soon after the scan I believe the stone passed out. Since then (6 days) I have had no pain and urine in flowing well. My urologist thinks I should have another pelvic CT scan to be sure stone is gone so that possible hydronephrosis will not damage kidney. I do not want the extra radiation and cost of scan. What should I do? I m 60 yrs old and in good health 5 6 , 160 lbs.
Hello shocked to know how could a doctor fool patients like this for earning money !!!! Who told u CT SCAN is needed to diagnose a kidney stone ???? It can be diagnosed by a very cheap n simple test i.e. ULTRASOUND...u don't need a ct scan
