Question

I've been dealing with really bad back pain and, after checking with the doctor, they found that I have a 6mm stone in my kidney pipe. Now they are suggesting a small surgery to blast the stone. Do you think that's necessary, or is there a way to manage it with just medicine? I'm a bit worried about having surgery. What would be the best approach?

If the 6mm stone is causing severe pain and blocking urine flow, surgery (like lithotripsy) might be the best option for quick relief. However, some stones can pass with medications, plenty of fluids, and pain management, so discuss all possibilities with your doctor.

I've been dealing with a UTI for the last ten days and have been taking medicines like Citralka syrup, Niftran, and Drotin M. However, my urine is still pale yellow, and my urinalysis showed 10-15 pus cells, with the culture coming back negative. How much longer will it take until I'm feeling better? I'm really getting tired of this.

Question
