I have a 9.5 mm stone in my right kidney and a 4.5 mm one in the left can these pass naturally or do I need meds to help break them down? Really hoping to avoid surgery if possible.

Stones under 5 mm often pass naturally; 9.5 mm may need lithotripsy or stenting. Hydration, tamsulosin, and pain control are important until reviewed by a urologist.
