Hello.
Thank you for contacting HCM.

I have gone through ultrasound report and I will to to explain it to you. First of all the kidney sizes are in the normal range. As for the stones....there are basically two types of stones....obstructive and non-obstructive. Obstructive stones are those which get stuck anywhere along the urinary tract causing swelling of the kidney. They usually require prompt medical intervention, whereas, the non-obstructive stones ( which you have on both sides) are the ones which require no immediate medical treatment and pass out on their own through urine. Perl pelvic cysts are usually formed with age and do not require any treatment.

I would suggest you maintain a good hydration level, drink citro-soda sachets to avoid infection as further increase in size of stones.

Please contact ER in case of any bleeding or pain.

I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to HCM if any concerns.
Wishing you good health.
