Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist, I can fully understand your concern. The kidney stone causes pain with its movement in side the kidney. As the stone moves, due to friction, it causes bleeding. Kindly confirm, if the stone size is 6 cm or 6 mm. A 6 cm stone is quite large, and causes more bleeding. The stone can be treated with several methods.ESL, is fragmenting it from outside, with shock waves. PNL, is fragmenting it through an endoscope. Laser lithography is another option, or a combination of these. If you've any doubt, you may send it as a direct question to me. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
