Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had 5mm kidney stone. the CT showed the stone at the entry of the ureter from the kidney, I passed a small portion but another piece is inside.my urologist wants me to do another CT and blood test instead of a cystoscopy to remove the stone. I refused to be submitted to high radiation from another CT. He refused to proceed with the cystoscopy unless I do another CT and another blood test. All pain went away by taking tylenol PM. my question. If there is no pain, there is no stone? or the stone inside but causing no pain?
