I have a 5mm calculus in my right upper ureter about 5cm below the pelviureteric junction. Is there any chance it can pass on its own without surgery? Are there any medicines that could help with this?

A 5mm kidney stone in the ureter has a decent chance of passing on its own, but there's no guarantee. While some stones can pass naturally, others may get stuck and cause complications. There are also medicines that can aid in passing stones, but their effectiveness can vary

View allMy dad has 3 gall bladder stones and an enlarged prostate at 73 cc. Is surgery absolutely necessary or can he manage with just medications for now? Really worried about his condition and want to understand the options better.
For a 73 cc enlarged prostate and gallstones, surgery might not be immediately necessary for either condition, but it depends on the severity of symptoms and individual factors. Medications can help manage symptoms of both, and watchful waiting might be an option for asymptomatic gallstones. Consulting with a doctor for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan is crucial.
