Can a .7m kidney stone be passed with out surgery?

Answer 1

A 0.7 cm (7 mm) kidney stone can potentially be passed without surgery, but it depends on various factors such as the stone's size, shape, and location, as well as the individual's anatomy. Stones smaller than 5 mm often pass spontaneously, while those larger than 6 mm may require medical intervention. Pain management and hydration are important during the process, but if the stone causes severe pain, infection, or obstruction, surgical options may become necessary. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice and treatment options.
