Found out I have a 9.2mm kidney stone near the VUJ do I really need surgery or can meds help break it down? Worried about the size and if it'll pass on its own.

A 9.2mm kidney stone at the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) is large and unlikely to pass on its own. While medication can help manage pain and potentially aid in passage of smaller stones, larger stones like yours are often best addressed surgically. A urologist can evaluate your specific situation and determine the best course of treatment, which may include procedures like ureteroscopy or ESWL.

My father has grade 1 prostate enlargement at 56cc and is currently on medications like martifur, tamsulosin hydrochloride, solicept, and b complex. He's very weak and using a catheter to pass urine, so surgery isn't an option for him right now. Can grade 1 prostate be cured with just medications, or is surgery the only way? His health is fragile, and we're really hoping medicine alone can help. What would you suggest?
