A 6mm kidney stone at the UV junction may be managed with medication or surgery, depending on the specific situation and your individual circumstances. Medication, such as Tamsulosin, can help relax the ureter and facilitate stone passage. If the stone is causing significant pain or obstruction, or if medical management fails, surgical options like lithotripsy or ureteroscopy may be considered
