Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have no obstructing stones of a size of 6-7 mm in both the kidneys.

Fullness of the Rt kidney is not significant

Hydronephrosis of Lt kidney suggests obstruction to flow of urine from kidney into bladder and is most likely to be due to presence of impacted stone in left ureter which need to be evaluated further by dong radiological test called IVP.

There is no medicine that can dissolve the stones.

They will either pass down over a period of time through ureter into bladder and urinary passage or may need endoscopic fragmentation in case you get repeated episodes of pain,vomiting and fever ..

Ensure to repeat your scanning every month .

Ensure to drink more water .
