I have a 1.5cm kidney stone in my left kidney and keep getting frequent pain. Should I consider surgery or is there any medication that can help with this?

A 1.5 cm kidney stone causing frequent pain may require surgical intervention, depending on its location and how it's affecting your urinary flow. While medication can help with pain management and potentially assist in passing smaller stones, it's unlikely to resolve a stone of that size without other treatments.
