7 mm Kidney Stone Treatment | Discounted Consultation

A 7 mm kidney stone may cause symptoms like sharp pain in the lower abdomen and back, reddish brown urine, frequent urge to urinate, foul-smelling urine, and more. The symptoms may worsen with time, leading to further health complications like renal failure. Thus, treating a 7 mm kidney stone at the earliest is necessary.

A kidney stone of 7 mm cannot be dissolved through oral medication as the ureter can only dilate up to 5 mm. Thus, surgical removal of kidney stones is necessary for such a scenario. Nowadays, advanced minimally to non-invasive surgeries are available, which allow faster recovery. To learn more, get in touch with Pristyn Care.

No, a 7 mm will not pass on its own without medical intervention. There is a high chance that neglecting medical attention may cause complications, severe abdominal pain, kidney infections, and difficulty in passing urine. Consult an experienced urologist for permanent relief.

Usually, complete recovery from kidney stone removal surgery takes about 2-4 weeks, depending upon the patient’s overall health and the type of surgery they undergo. The recovery period is shorter for advanced minimally invasive procedures than for open surgery.  

7 mm kidney stone usually does not dissolve on its own. Most kidney stones cannot be dissolved with medicines, except some uric acid stones, which may shrink with specific medical treatment.

7 mm stone can sometimes pass through the ureter, but it is difficult and often painful. The chances of passing it naturally are lower compared to smaller stones.
