Hello
Thanks for query .
Based on your statement your mother has recurrence of stones in her Rt kidney of a size of 7mm and 10 mm as revealed in Ultrasound Scanning .
Since the stones are located in kidney they can be fragmented by a procedure called Extra Corporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (E.S.W.L.).
Send the fragments of the stones for analysis so that necessary dietary measures can not be taken to prevent the recurrence of stone.
Ensure she drinks more water .
