I've been dealing with really bad back pain and, after checking with the doctor, they found that I have a 6mm stone in my kidney pipe. Now they are suggesting a small surgery to blast the stone. Do you think that's necessary, or is there a way to manage it with just medicine? I'm a bit worried about having surgery. What would be the best approach?

If the 6mm stone is causing severe pain and blocking urine flow, surgery (like lithotripsy) might be the best option for quick relief. However, some stones can pass with medications, plenty of fluids, and pain management, so discuss all possibilities with your doctor.

View allI have a 15mm kidney stone in my right PUJ and a 9mm one in my left kidney, and my creatinine serum level is 1.13. My doctor recommends laser surgery with a stent, but I'm wondering if there's any way to remove or dissolve these stones naturally. How long can I safely delay the surgery?
Given the size of your kidney stones (15mm and 9mm) and your creatinine level (1.13), a delay in surgery might not be advisable, especially for the larger stone in the PUJ. While natural methods like increased fluid intake can help with small stones, larger ones and those causing obstruction, like the 15mm one, typically require intervention.
