I have kidney stones in both kidneys, each about 4 mm in size, and a 5 mm stone at the ureterovesical junction. What should I do?

Your kidney stones are small, and stones under 5 mm often pass naturally. You should drink plenty of water each day to help flush them out and take pain relievers such as paracetamol if needed. Your doctor may prescribe alpha-blockers to relax the ureter and make it easier for the stones to pass. In some cases, if a stone does not pass or causes complications, procedures like lithotripsy or surgical removal may be recommended. If you develop severe pain, blood in your urine, or difficulty urinating, please see your doctor promptly.
