You have stone in ureter impacted at Uretero Vesical Junction.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have repeated episodes of pain in abdomen (Loin) due to urinary stones.

I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Which side is the pain ?
2) Is there vomiting associated with pain ?
3) Do you have fever ?
4) What is the degree of Hydronephrosis (Back pressure changes in kidney) reported in Scan report.?
5) Have you done Intra Venous Pyelography ?

Stone of a size of 9 mm is unlikely to pass out spontaneously.

If you have repeated episodes of pain It is advisable to get it fragmented endoscopically by a procedure called Ureterorenoscopy (URS),This will help to decompress your kidney and prevent it from getting damaged due to back pressure effect of impacted stone .

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.
Dr.Patil.
