Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!

It will all depend on the size and location of the kidney stones. If it is smaller than 4mm then your mother can pass out the stone spontaneously with intake of 2 liters of fluid everyday and alpha-blockers (e.g. tamsulosin alfusozin). Stones less than 4mm in size has a 80-90% chance of spontaneous passage. If the stones are bigger in size then options would include ESWL (shockwave therapy) to fragment kidney stones and Ureteroscopy (inserting a small scope in the opening of the urine to remove the stone).

A CT STONOGRAM would be needed to see the stone sizes and location to determine the next course of action.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes.
