My husband has 6mm stones in both kidneys should we be worried? Is this something that needs surgery right away or can it be treated with medicines?
A 6mm kidney stone is large enough that it may not pass on its own and could require medical intervention. While some stones of this size may pass naturally, it's important to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of action.
