Answers:
You may pass the this size of stone but with an unbearable pain,thats what I experienced few times!. Try to drink more fluids specially early morning!. But also keep in mind that if the passage is completely blocked, it may cause kidney damage!. As you mentioned mild hydronephrosis, it means not complete obstruction!.
You may opt for Lithotripsy, where the stones are crushed by ultrasonic waves from outside!. OR it can be brought down by basket through general anesthesia!.
The choice is yours!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well, it depends on how much pain you are having, a 5mm stone is no picnic to pass, buddy--you will be calling for your mum if it isn't broken up
if you have insurance and the deductible isn't that high, I would go for the laser destruction if I was you--the tube that 5mm piece has to travel down is verrrrry small--and this is a ROCK you are passing, sir!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is possible to pass them but they are one of thee most painful things a guy can go through!. YOu should have choosen the serjury or the procedure!. It cuts you as its coming out because it has throne like things on it!. It will hurt but it shouldn't cause anything else!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My Grannie (She is OLD) had one removed, easy they point a hair dryer at it from outside the body and zap! I drove her home same day!. See a specialist that has the new laser!.
The specialist told us STOP drinking soda pop it is making him rich and to drink lemonade the acid prevents stones!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Drink plenty of fluids and you should be able to get rid of this, in the normal excrete!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
