7 mm Kidney Stone Treatment

Kidney Stones is a prevalent disorder of the kidneys which causes a lot of pain and discomfort. Kidney stones are composed of salt and minerals found in the urine. Some stones, less than 5 mm, pass through the urine without difficulty. However, stones bigger that are of 7 mm or more don't flush out easily through urine and require timely surgical intervention. Thus, surgical treatment is necessary to treat a 7 mm kidney stone. If you have a kidney stone of 7 mm, seek immediate consultation with a urologist. At Pristyn Care, we have experienced urologists who specialize in performing advanced kidney stone removal treatment. Book your private consultation to discuss the best treatment plan for your condition.

7 mm Kidney Stone Diagnosis & Treatment

7 mm Kidney Stone Diagnosis

If your symptoms are indicative of kidney stones, the urologist may ask you to undergo a few tests to confirm your case and recommend a proper treatment plan.

  • Blood tests: To check the levels of calcium and uric acid to evaluate the overall condition of the kidney.
  • Urine test: A 24-hour urine culture helps the doctor to check if there is any need for urinary or kidney infection medication.
  • Imaging tests: Tests like ultrasounds, CT scans, and MRIs help reveal the kidney stone’s location and size.

7 mm Kidney Stone Treatment

  • ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy): It is a non-invasive procedure which involves shockwaves to break stones into tiny pieces. Some complicated cases may require more than one sitting to break multiple kidney stones.
  • PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy): It is an advanced technique of removal of kidney stones, best suited for kidney stones larger than 14 mm. It is a minimally invasive surgery in which the stone is broken into smaller pieces, known as nephrolithotripsy. 
  • RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery): This is an advanced kidney stone removal surgery that surgeons prefer for stones 8 to 15 mm. In the procedure, the surgeon inserts a thin, flexible endoscope placed in the kidney to remove any stone inside it or in the upper ureter. 
  • URSL:(Ureteroscopic lithotripsy): A ureteroscope is passed through the urethra into the ureter to break down a moderate-sized kidney stone with the help of laser energy.

FAQs Around 7 mm Kidney Stone Treatment

Is a 7 mm kidney stone considered moderate in size?

Yes, a 7-mm kidneystone is generally considered a moderate-sized stone. While some stones of this size may pass naturally, many cases require medical monitoring or treatment if symptoms worsen.

What happens if a 7 mm kidney stone becomes stuck in the ureter?

If a 7 mm kidney stone becomes lodged in the ureter, it can block urine flow and cause severe pain, pressure in the kidney, and possible complications such as infection if not treated promptly.

Which minimally invasive procedures are used for a 7 mm kidney stone?

Doctors may recommend minimally invasive treatments such as ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy or shock wave therapy to break the stone into smaller fragments for easier removal.

How long will it take me to recover from kidney stone surgery?

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.  

Can a 7 mm kidney stone dissolve on its own?

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.

How do doctors decide whether to treat or observe a 7 mm kidney stone?

Doctors consider factors such as the patient’s symptoms, the stone’s location, the risk of blockage, and the patient’s overall health before deciding whether observation or active treatment is required.
