I'm dealing with kidney stones in both of my kidneys. There's a 4mm stone on the right and a 3mm one on the left. Can you guide me on how I should go about removing these stones?

-Small kidney stones like yours often pass naturally with adequate hydration. Drink at least 3-4 liters of water daily, include citrus juices (like lemon water) to help dissolve stones, and consult your doctor for pain management or medications if needed.

I've been having swelling and stabbing pain on the lower left side of my trunk near my abdomen and hip. My doctor checked and said there's no kidney or urinary issue but still ordered an ultrasound. The scan showed normal kidneys and no fatty liver but found a UTI, urine retention, and 6mm gall bladder stones with fatty and calcium deposits. I'm worried will my doctor push for surgery or can this be managed with meds and lifestyle changes? What does Ayurveda suggest for avoiding surgery in this case?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
