I have a 6mm kidney stone and my CT scan shows it's 10mm in another part do I really need surgery or are there other options to pass it naturally
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 6mm kidney stone and a larger 10mm stone likely won't pass naturally and will require medical intervention. Surgery is generally not the first choice for 6mm stones, but it's often considered for stones of 10mm or larger, or if a smaller stone gets stuck and causes complications. Other options like medication, lithotripsy (shock wave therapy), or a procedure called ureteroscopy might be used before surgery, especially for smaller stones

View allI've been using Himalaya Confido tablets twice a day like you suggested, and I'm just wondering, will these actually help with increasing the size?
Hello! Himalaya Confido is an herbal supplement often used to support male reproductive health and improve stamina. While it may help with overall wellness, it is unlikely to directly increase the size. If you're concerned about any specific results, it's always a good idea to discuss them with your doctor for more personalized advice.

Found out I have a 19mm right PU junction calculus and a 10mm right renal calculus with mild hydronephrosis on the right side. Do I really need surgery to remove these stones or are there any medicines that can help instead?
For your 19mm right PU junction calculus and 10mm right renal calculus with mild hydronephrosis, surgery is likely the most appropriate treatment option, particularly for the larger stone. While medications can help with pain management and sometimes assist in passing smaller stones, the 19mm stone is unlikely to pass on its own and may require surgical intervention
