4 Mm Stone Detected. Belly Swollen, Drinking Tons Of Water, Did Not Pass Stone. Urologist Help Required?

CT shows 4 mm stone with left side hydronephrosis and hydroureter. On 5th day. Still haven t passed stone. Belly is very swollen. Been drinking tons of water, lemon juice (concentrated), and even added in pink lemonade. Now constipated. Was treated in ER 5 days ago. Should I forget about trying to pass it on my own and see a urologist in the AM. ER Dr. referred one if needed. This is my 9th stone. Thank you. Teresa

Hi, many thanks for the query!
You haven't mentioned the location of the stone in the urinary tract, not even the grade/degree of hydronephrosis & hydroureter.
You need to do- USG KUB empty stomach, Urine (R & M),
RFT, CBC, Blood Sugar Level.
Till then take antispasmodics, antacids, diuretics, pain killers with
your doctor's opinion.
Drink plenty of water so that at least 2 litres of urine is voided in 24 hrs.
Being a recurrent stone former, you should do- Metabolic workup of 24 hrs urine sample, stone analysis of previous stones, Sr. Uric acid, Sr. Calcium, Sr. PTH, so that certain drugs & appropriate dietary advice can be given as per the reports to prevent stone formation in future.
Wish you a good health.
Take care.
Regards.
