I have a 2 mm renal calculus and I'm not sure what that exactly means. Is it the same as a kidney stone and does it need surgery to remove? Can medicines help treat it instead? What precautions should I take to manage this condition?

I've got a 16 mm stone in my left kidney and a 6 mm stone in my right. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. Can these be removed without having to go under the knife?

The 6mm stone in your right kidney is likely to pass on its own with hydration and medical expulsive therapy, but the 16mm stone in your left kidney is larger and less likely to pass naturally; for the larger stone, surgeon may recommend shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), ureteroscopy, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) to break up or remove the stone, depending on its composition, location, and your overall health; consult a urologist or nephrologist
