ReplyDeleteI advise- 1) do repeat ultrasound exam.
ReplyDelete2) meet urologist for continued treatment if needed.

Sir, good evening.
ReplyDeleteMy ct kub reports says that "NCCT findings reveal small right vuj calculus without significant proximal hydroureteronephrosis. Note is also made of non obstructing small right renal calculus. 3mm calculus is seen in right middle calyx. 3 mm calculus is seen at right vuj. my question is either i have to stone or only one. which is better for me surgery or to wait some time on medicine. Please guide sir. K
K...Advise you to meet a urologist at earliest. Depending on size of VUJ calculus, surgical intervention may be needed. For the other 3 mm. calculi in kidney, follow up with repeat ultrasound is advisable......
