Brief Answer: The earlier the better Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you so much for trusting us with your health query. I am so sorry to hear about this kidney stone that you have. If the stone has not caused completely blockage and still allows urine to drain out without major obstruction, then it might not be of too much harm waiting. However, if it has started having impact on the renal function and structure test, then waiting longer may not be an excellent idea. What were the reports of the ultrasounds and CT scans? Did they report any hydronephrosis? Removing this stone as son as possible is the only guarantee because even a silent stone may cause complications over night. With the pains that are at times very severe, try talking with your doctor to see whether a solution can be arrived at earlier. However, monitoring would help catch any arising problems and address them immediately if need be. I am sure that is what the statement is supposed to that if everything stays the same, then they can wait until end of February. I hope you find this helpful. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and please do feel free to ask for more information if need. I pray that nothing happens leading up to this intended period. I also wish you a very safe and event free surgery. Dr. Ditah, MD.
