I have a 4mm calculus in my left vesicoureteric junction and mild left hydroureteronephrosis, plus a 2mm microlith in the interpolar region of my left kidney. Should I be considering surgery for this or are there other treatment options? I'm a bit worried about what this means for my kidney health.

I'm dealing with kidney stones in both of my kidneys. There's a 4mm stone on the right and a 3mm one on the left. Can you guide me on how I should go about removing these stones?
-Small kidney stones like yours often pass naturally with adequate hydration. Drink at least 3-4 liters of water daily, include citrus juices (like lemon water) to help dissolve stones, and consult your doctor for pain management or medications if needed.
