What is the treatment for a 7.5mm Kidney Stone?

Passing a stone depends on its shape as well as its size. Keep in mind the ureter, which is the narrowest part of the urinary tract, is 4 mm in diameter (and narrower in three spots including where it meets the bladder and where it meets the kidney). It stretches but for most people the issue is pain tolerance as well as an obstruction that affects renal function.

Once the stone has made it to the ureter you could try Flomax (tamsulosin), it dilates the ureters and relaxes the neck of the bladder. Otherwise, sorry, you're looking at surgery.
