Yesterday a 6 mm stone was observed through ultrasound scan just above the bladder in the ureter of my mom.
She is 53 years old.
What should we do ?
Will the stone fall on its own ?

This is a question only your doctors can answer I'm afraid as they will have the means to tell if the stone is too big to come out by itself. I'm not a doctor or medically trained by the way! I've had a 1cm stone which had to be lasered at Xmas/New Year time this year and previously I had 2 x 9mm stones both stuck in same tube which also had to be lasered.
My query is - are everybody's ureters the same size; and how do they know what is too big unless they have measured the diameter of your tubes?!
It's a mystery to me!
My advice is to ask a surgeon who operates regularly on trapped kidney stones.
Hope it gets sorted quickly for her

Kidney stones and the Dr's that go along g with them are so frustrating. I have had a kidney stone stuck in my uterer just outside my kidney for 2 months now and have a stent in place as we speak I has a lithotripsy 3 weeks ago and am waiting for my second surgery. Mine started out as 10mm and then broke to 6mm after surgery however it is not passing. I have taken tramadol, vicodin 10mg, toradol, ib 800, bladder spasm pills, Flomax Tylenol 3 and 4 and nothing has helped the pain. I have been to Er 5 times in last 2 months where I got some relief from morphine and diluded. My urologist and her staff act annoyed with me when I call for answers. It is very frustrating and I would change Dr if I wasn't in the middle of all of this mess. The pain I believe is from the stent. Horrible horrible pain. I can't hardly walk let alone work and I am a nurse! Pt care should be number one but I feel in this case it is hopeless. Have these professionals never had a Pt experience pain from a stent before to this extreme? I am not over reacting by any means it is so damn frustrating!

My stent was horrific to, even getting up to go to toilet was traumatising, ended up in a wheel chair if we had to go anywhere that involved any more then few steps
Worst 8 weeks of my life, the stent hurt more then the renal colic and stone pain did in the first place
Soon as it was removed within 24hrs I was bk to normal
Well for 9 weeks and now I've grown more Sodding stones!

I had first stent for 6 weeks b cause stone was blocking me going to loo, then operation to have stones blasted then another stent , the second stent they attached to my leg and that came out after 3 weeks
Hope all goes well, all I can say it's the diclofenic suppositories we're good topped up with codine and I also had diazepam and buscopan for the spasams and pain the stent caused

I remember my uncle had stone in urine passage and he was asked to undergo operation by the doctors, but he refused and had 1 glass of banana stem juice with little salt everyday in empty stomach for a month. After he scanned and noticed the stone vanished. Doctor itself appreciated his effort. He knows herbal treatment.
i dont know if this helps.
