Any kidney stone vets out there with advice?
I have a 5mm stone stuck in my ureter right above my bladder. Its been there for at least 3 months. I am trying flomax for seven days to see if it passes and will be scheduled for surgery if it doesnt. The surgery will be at least a month away because they are very backed up. I have tried to flush it out by increasing my fluid intake and it hasnt worked. Any ideas for me to try? I am miserable.. Also, has anyone had a stone removed surgically? What was the recovery like? Thanks in advance.
I've had good luck with Flomax. One time, it worked in a week. Another took 2 months. Hopefully, yours will take a few days.
You're doing good with fluids. That's about all you can do.
As for the surgery, there are a couple of options. The first is lithotripsy. A machine is used to bombard the stone with ultrasound. The idea is that the stone breaks into smaller parts which can pass.
The other is cystoscopy. The doctor passes a catheter up to the stone & blasts it with either ultrasound or a laser. Afterwards, a "stent" is left in to prop the ureter open so the stone/fragments can pass. The problem is that the stent itself is "uncomfortable". It's removed in the office.
Best of luck.
