I'm dealing with an 8mm kidney stone in the upper pole and a 9mm stone at the vesicoureteric junction. Is there any way to treat this without going through surgery, or is surgery my only option?

The 8mm stone in the upper pole kidney and the 9mm stone at the vesicoureteric junction (VUJ) may be treatable without surgery, depending on symptoms and stone composition; options include Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) to break down the stones, or medical expulsive therapy (MET) with medications like alpha-blockers to help pass the stones naturally; however, consult a urologist to determine the best course of treatment based on your specific situation.

I recently had a urine test that showed RBC 23 HPF, and I'm a bit concerned. I did an ultrasound and X-Ray KUB, and both came back normal. Been experiencing a burning sensation when I pee. I tried some homeopathy medicine for a month, and the results looked normal, but then another urine test a month later still showed RBC 23 HPF. What could be going on? I'm really worried and could use some advice.
The presence of red blood cells (RBC) in the urine can indicate various conditions such as urinary tract infection, kidney stones, or inflammation in the urinary tract. Since your ultrasound and X-Ray KUB results were normal, it's important to address the burning sensation in your urine. I recommend taking a course of antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily for 7-10 days to treat any possible urinary tract infection that may be causing the symptoms. Additionally, you can take Phenazopyridine 200mg three times a day for 2 days to help relieve the burning sensation. It's also important to stay well-hydrated and avoid irritants such as caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a urologist may be necessary.
