Can a 9 mm stone in my left ureter causing hydronephrosis be treated with medicine or do I need surgery? - #55630

A 9 mm stone in the left ureter with hydronephrosis means the stone is blocking the normal flow of urine, causing swelling in the kidney. Even if pain is mild now, prolonged obstruction should not be ignored because it can slowly affect kidney function. In Ayurveda, this condition is correlated with “Mutrashmari,” where aggravated Vata and Kapha contribute to stone formation and blockage in the urinary tract. Ayurvedic treatment mainly focuses on: Supporting natural stone breakdown Improving urine flow Reducing inflammation and swelling Preventing recurrent stone formation Common Ayurvedic medicines Varunadi Kashayam – helps support stone dissolution and urinary drainage Gokshuradi Guggulu – supports kidney and urinary tract health Cystone – commonly used for recurrent stones Punarnava – may help reduce hydronephrosis-related swelling Coconut water, barley water, and adequate warm water intake are also beneficial However, a 9 mm ureteric stone is relatively large. Stones above 6–7 mm often have difficulty passing naturally. Because hydronephrosis is already present, close monitoring is very important.
