I have kidney stones measuring 1.2cm and 2.5cm, plus an 8mm and two smaller ones total of 5 stones in my left kidney. The doctor said I might need 2 or 3 surgeries, but I'm trying to avoid surgery and dissolve them naturally with ayurvedic tablets. Do these tablets actually work or is surgery the only option?

While ayurvedic tablets can play a role in managing kidney stones, especially in supporting the body's natural healing process, they are not a guaranteed solution for stones of this size and number. The stones you have (1.2cm, 2.5cm, 8mm, and two smaller) are large enough that surgery might be necessary, as suggested by your doctor.
