How many times should you pee a day?
Most people urinate between six and eight times a day. But if you're drinking plenty, it's not abnormal to go as many as 10 times a day. You may also pee more often if you're taking certain medications, like diuretics for high blood pressure.

I have a 16mm stone in my left kidney and a 14mm stone in my right kidney. The urologist is suggesting laparoscopy for the left one but I really don't want surgery. Are there any other options to avoid going under the knife?
For your 16mm kidney stone, there's a good chance you'll need some form of intervention, but surgery isn't always the only option. While laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical option, other non-surgical techniques like shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) might be considered. Your urologist may also recommend retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for larger stones. The best approach will depend on the specific characteristics of your stones and your overall health
