[|Human|] Ive been diagnosed with a 6mm kidney stone - lower pole. First presented last June with gross hematuria but no pain. Told to wait and see. Now 6mo later another episode of gross hematuria AND flank/groin, abdomen pain. Latest CT w/o contrast reveals same 6mm only slightly moved (likely cause of latest bleed). Its being suggested it may not leave on its own. I hear good/bad about the blasting with sound waves. What else might be considered. Im still having intermixed abdomen pain no longer bleeding.
[|AI|]  Hi. 6 mm stone in kidney normally pass out of urinary tract. But there is always a chance to get it stuck along the way. Lithography is a good solution unless and until it is on the transverse process of spine. The Doctor doing Lithography knows this. If he feels OK, please go ahead as the stones causing bleeding are better be removed as they are the source of infection and recurrent bleeding and cause obstructive symptoms.
