How To Diminish The Size Of 7 Mm Kidney Stone So As To Facilitate Its Throwing Out Process?
I have a 7mm kidney stone. Last time i was at the hospital it was in my ureter. It feels like it may have moved to my bladder. Is there anything i can do to make it smaller for when it comes out. I m afraid of it becoming stuck or tearing once it comes out if that sensitive place.

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have 7mm stone detected in your kidney and which has moved down in to bladder.
There is no medicine that can reduce the size of the stone.
The stone of a size 7 mm will pass out through urethra freely with slight discomfort when it comes out.
Please ensure to drink more water so that it will pass out with forceful urine flow.
