A doctor might wait three weeks to remove a kidney stone if the stone is small and likely to pass on its own, allowing the patient to avoid surgery. This conservative approach can help prevent unnecessary risks associated with surgical procedures. Additionally, if the patient is experiencing mild symptoms, the doctor may monitor the situation to see if the stone naturally dislodges before opting for intervention. Regular follow-ups during this period would ensure that any complications are addressed promptly.
People generally cannot fly, even after having heavy kidney stones removed.
No. Kidney stone under 4mm are likely to pass without minor surgery. Anything above that would cause severe pain and would likely need a doctor or urologist to remove. There are many different procedures that can be done. I had a 7mm stone and had to have surgery for removal. I beg to differ here...upto 6mm stones are nto to be touched and they are supposed to come out on their own. Drink lots of fluid and avoid foods causing stones.
I went to A&E with a bad kidney infection, were they told me i was about 7 weeks pregnant, which I had no idea about! about 3 weeks later I had a miscarriage, I saw my kidney doctor yesterday and he said that there is a chance it could have caused it but assured me the antibiotics I was on were safe, he said the more likely answer is I had a raised temperature so this could have factored in the miscarriage.
Yes, a patient with multiple stones may pass them hours, days or weeks apart.
Yes, it is possible to have kidney stones two weeks after just passing them. If you just passed kidney stones, it is possible that there are still remaining stones in your kidney that were not passed with the others.
Kidney or renal pain is not a normal symptom of pregnancy and could be sign of an infection. Call your doctor!
I have had four kidney stones, the largest being 3mm. That stone had me laid up on the couch eating vicodin for three weeks. So unless you have an 8mm wide ureter, I would get ready for some serious pain.
A kidney stone can remain in the bladder for varying lengths of time, ranging from days to several weeks, depending on factors like its size, shape, and the individual's urinary habits. If the stone does not pass naturally, it may lead to complications such as infection or obstruction. Medical intervention may be necessary if the stone causes persistent symptoms or does not pass on its own. Regular monitoring by a healthcare professional is recommended in such cases.
maybe a kidney infection, but you might want to go see your doctor
Every person is different but sometimes up to 2 weeks...
After you have had freezing treatment to a wart, it should fall off within 2 weeks. If the wart does not fall off by itself in 2 weeks, then you should visit your doctor so he/she can remove it for you.
He had a damaged kidney removed when he was about six weeks old.
