Renal calculi problem
I m suffering from a disease kidney stone (renal calculi)of size 5.5 mm from 2 years.. tried so many medicines but it doesn't effect it.. stone is in the same place . It is nt moving from there.. as it is in the same place.. does it will create any harm to kidney or other body parts? Lykwise many peoples told that it will create wound inside kidney and it will effect the body... Is it right?? Is there any other options to cure it??

No..5mm calculus is harmless. It will cause pain only if it gets down into ureter- that's urine tube. If you really need to get it removed best option is RIRS
