Hi Emma, a 1.9 cm and 2.4 cm kidney stone, especially if forming a staghorn, is serious and won’t pass on its own. The mild obstructive uropathy and urothelial thickening mean your kidney is under stress, and constant use of painkillers isn’t a long-term solution. You should see a urologist as soon as possible. You may need a procedure like PCNL or lithotripsy to remove the stone and prevent kidney damage. Also, bilateral bulky ovaries may need evaluation by a gynecologist to rule out PCOS or hormonal issues. Please don’t delay treatment—these symptoms show your body is signaling for help.

A 1.9 cm and 2.4 cm kidney stone, especially one forming a staghorn shape, is considered quite large and can cause ongoing back pain, infection risk, and obstruction—which your scan already suggests (mild obstructive uropathy and urothelial thickening). This type of stone often doesn't pass on its own and may need procedures like lithotripsy, PCNL, or other interventions. Regularly taking painkillers may give short-term relief, but it can harm your kidneys further if the root cause isn’t treated. Additionally, bilateral bulky ovaries could indicate hormonal imbalance (like PCOS), which might be unrelated but still important to monitor. The combination of kidney stones, back pain, and urinary changes means you should consult a urologist soon—prolonging treatment might lead to infection or permanent kidney damage. For now, drink plenty of water (if no fluid restriction), avoid high-oxalate foods (like spinach, nuts), and avoid long-term painkiller use without medical guidance.
