Hi I am a 42 yr old woman with a history of Kidney Stones. I was having a IBS attack for about a week. My G.I. Dr. ordered a abd. Ultra Sound and found a 7mm Kidney Stone in my left Kidney the report said: Left Kidney midpole question 7mm nonobstructive stone. What does this mean? And can I pass the stone that is 7 mm? I had stones in the past that were smaller, and were painful. What my Dr do to remove this stone?
Good Day, and thank you for being with Chat Doctor !for a 7 mm stone you may have a hard time passing out that stone since the passage is only 3 mm in size. I would suggest doing shockwave therapy on your kidney stone to fragment the stone, and you will be able to pass it easily. I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.ChatDoctor .com/doctors/ Chat Doctor.  Best wishes.
