I've been dealing with a kidney stone for about a week now - it's 4.2 mm in size. Every morning I get this sharp pain and it's really uncomfortable. I'm already getting treatment but I'm worried if this might need surgery or if it can pass on its own

I've been having trouble with urine getting stuck and not flowing properly, especially when sitting or lying down for long periods. Even when I feel the urge to go, it's hard to empty my bladder completely unless the stream is really strong. Doctors mentioned surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any treatments or surgical options that don't involve removing the prostate gland? What else can be done to help with this?

I would need some more details to get a clear idea of what you are going through
