I'm a 34-year-old male with a 9mm kidney stone and my doctor recommended surgery but I have to travel abroad this month Is there any way to treat it without surgery I'm really worried about this
While a 9mm kidney stone might typically require surgery, there are some non-surgical options to consider, especially if travel is a concern. One possibility is shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), which uses sound waves to break down the stone into smaller pieces that can pass through the urinary tract. Another option is ureteroscopy, where a small camera is inserted through the urethra to locate and remove the stone, or to break it down with laser or other tools.
