I noticed a 6mm calculus in the upper pole of my right kidney. Is surgery absolutely necessary or are there medicines that can help dissolve or pass it naturally? I'm a bit worried about invasive procedures and would prefer other options if possible. What would you recommend in this case?

I'm experiencing this light pain in my groin area and sometimes it feels like tingling or numbness around my inner thighs and below the testicles. It's kind of like ants are running in that area. It happens randomly, but I've noticed it gets worse when I'm sitting in the office with the AC on. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
