Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can fully understand your concern.
The kidney stone causes pain with it's movement in side the kidney.
As the stone moves,due to friction,it causes bleeding. Kindly confirm,if the stone size is 6cm or 6 mm. A 6 cm stone is quite large, and causes more bleeding. The stone can be treated with several different methods.
ESWL,is fragmenting it from outside,with shock waves. PCNL,is fragmenting it through an endoscope. Laser lithotripsy is another option,or a combination of these.If you've any doubt,you may send it as a direct question to me.
