I have a 3 cm kidney stone and I'm diabetic but no other issues - is it possible to treat this without surgery or is that my only option
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 3cm kidney stone is large and may not pass on its own, and surgery or other procedures are often necessary. While some smaller stones can be managed with conservative measures like increased fluid intake and pain medication, a stone of this size typically requires intervention. Given your diabetes, it's crucial to consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action, as uncontrolled diabetes can complicate treatment and increase the risk of complications.
