I have a 9mm stone in my right ureter and I'm really worried. Can it pass naturally if I drink a lot of water or is surgery the only option? I get pain and vomiting often but not constantly. Are there any natural remedies that might help? I really don't want to go through surgery if possible.

A 9mm kidney stone in the right ureter can be managed through medical intervention or surgery, depending on the stone's composition and your symptoms. While drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, can help, it might not be sufficient for a stone of that size. It's recommended to seek medical advice, as other treatments like extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or ureteroscopy might be necessary

View allI've been having this dragging sensation and pain on the left side of my scrotum which my doctor says is varicocele and recommended surgery but I'm not sure if it's really necessary. Can varicocele heal on its own or are there other treatment options before considering surgery? The discomfort comes and goes but it's really bothering me during physical activity
While it's possible for a varicocele to improve or disappear on its own, particularly in adolescents, it's not a guarantee. In many cases, varicoceles persist and may even worsen over time. Your doctor's recommendation for surgery is likely based on your specific symptoms and how they're impacting your quality of life, especially during physical activity. There are other options to consider before surgery, but it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance.

I'm a reverted Muslim and considering getting khatna done. Can you tell me how much the surgery usually costs and how many days I'd need to stay in the hospital?
The cost varies depending on the area and the hospital . In Chennai, it costs between 30000 to 40000 if done under general anaesthetic. You will need to take off work for about 1 week and may be two weeks. You will start to move about 6- 8 hours after surgery
