Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Today I had a back pain and went to a doctor and they said it could be due to a kidney stone. I have done my CT scan and confirmed that I have a 0.2 inch kidney stone at left VUJ. Please check the attached report and let me know whether this can be treated with medicine or is surgery the only option. Please check the report and let me know all available options. As of now, I am not having any pain.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the reports sent by you (attachment removed to protect patient identity). There is no need for urgent surgery. 70 percent chances that it will come out with medicines. Surgery only if severe intolerable pain or fever high grade. I suggest you take one tablet Veltam (Tamsulosin) 0.4 mg at night time for seven days, two tablets Pan 40 (Pantoprazole) in the morning for seven days, and three tablets Voveran SR (Diclofenac) when you have pain. Drink plenty of water. You can wait for 10 to 15 days and repeat the sonograph or CT scan.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
