I recently found out I have a 7mm stone in my left kidney, and I'm worried about whether it's dangerous or not. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery, so are there any good treatments out there for this? Would love to hear more about my options.

7mm renal calculi definitely needs surgical management.... any blockage of urinary flow due to calculi wil lead to infection or hydronephrosis . kindly consult urologist and get treated...

My dad has borderline prostatomegaly his ultrasound showed an enlarged prostate at 31x38x34 mm with a volume of 224cc but no focal lesions. He had TURP surgery back in 2009. Is TURP needed again or are there other treatment options we should consider?

For a case of borderline prostatomegaly, with a prostate volume of 224cc and a prior TURP, a repeat TURP may not be the first course of action. Other treatment options, like watchful waiting, medications, or even a different surgical procedure, should be considered. The best approach depends on the severity of symptoms and other factors
