My dad has a 25mm stone in his right kidney and a 13mm stone in the left one but his creatinine levels and kidney function are normal. Since he also has heart issues, is there any way to get rid of the stones with just medicines or does he definitely need surgery?

A 25mm and 13mm kidney stone with normal renal function may sometimes be managed medically, but due to heart issues, surgical options like RIRS or PCNL need cardiac clearance first.

I have a 7mm lower ureteric stone and right now I'm feeling pain at the tip of my penis along with some burning sensation There's also mild pain in the upper bladder area but no kidney pain at the moment I'm taking dynapar lasix and alfoo tablets Do you think this stone can pass naturally or will I need surgery

A 7mm stone in the lower ureter might pass naturally, but it's not guaranteed. The pain you're experiencing, especially at the tip of your penis and burning sensation, could indicate a potential issue. pain can shift around as the stone moves through the urinary tract.
