I have an 8.33 mm kidney stone stuck in my ureter about 7 cm from the bladder. Is there a chance it can pass on its own or will I need surgery? I'm currently taking Elements Uri flush syrup but not sure if it's enough to help

An 8.33 mm kidney stone stuck in the ureter, 7 cm from the bladder, has a lower chance of passing naturally, but it's not impossible. While the Urology Associates of Central Missouri indicates that stones larger than 6 mm rarely pass on their own, the precise location and other factors can influence the outcome. Your current use of Elements Uri flush syrup may help, but it's crucial to consult a urologist for personalized advice and potential treatment options.

View allI've had a hydrocele in my left testis for the past 4 years and the size hasn't changed but for the last month there's been very mild pain. Doctors suggest surgery but I'd prefer not to go that route. Is there any effective homeopathy or ayurvedic treatment that can help with this condition
While homeopathy and Ayurveda offer alternative approaches, there's limited scientific evidence to support their efficacy in treating hydroceles definitively. Conventional medical treatment, such as surgery (hydrocelectomy), is the generally recommended approach when hydroceles cause significant pain, discomfort, or complications
