I have been diagnosed with kidney stones.when I had pain once in my abdomen . Stones are Less than 5mm in size, 2 in both kidneys. I am having noculi syrup and no pain since past 15 days. Should I get ultra sound done now, to check status of stones ??
Hello and welcome to HCM,
Ultrasound of the pelvic region helps to determine presence or absence of kidney stones.
Only a minority of kidney stones are radio-opaque on X-ray thus ultrasound will pick up all other stones.
In case stones are picked up on the ultrasound, appropriate management can be done- conservative or surgical.
Thanks and take care
