Hi, welcome to HCM.
Kidney stone can be obstructive to urine passage or it can be non obstructive and silent.
Stones which are >6mm or obsructing the urine passage require treatment.
Recurrent kidney stones or multiple stones require evaluation for the cause - why they are forming- by 24 hour urine analysis and few blood report.
Kidney stone of any type can be simply prevented by adequate water intake, salt restriction, non-veg restriction and prevention of urine infection.
So, don't worry. Do above tests.
Feel free to communicate further.
Best wishes. TC

Hello
Thanks for query .
You have been detected to have stone in your both the kidneys .
The modality of treatment for kidney stone is decided on following factors .
1) If the stones are small in size below 8 mm and non obstructing in nature they are left alone and expected to pass down spontaneously .
2) If the stones are bigger than 1 cm in size they can be Fragmented by a procedure called Extra Corporeal Short Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) The fragments of the stone being small pass out spontaneously .
3) If the stone is bigger than 2 cms it is fragmented and fragments are delivered out by a procedure called Per Cutaneous Lithotripsy (PCNL).
This is an endoscopic surgery and done under anesthesia for which one needs to get hospitalized for 3-4 days .
