I've been diagnosed with multiple mild hydroureteronephrosis caused by a 7.1 mm stone in my upper ureter. There are also two stones in my right kidney (4.9 mm and 6.9 mm) and multiple stones in my left kidney with the largest being 4.7 mm and 2.2 mm. What should my next steps be? Can this be treated with just medications or will I need surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Given the combination of stones and mild hydronephrosis, a multi-pronged approach is likely needed. The 7.1 mm stone in the ureter is likely to require medical or surgical intervention, while the smaller kidney stones might be managed medically, followed by a more targeted approach if necessary.

View allMy dad has kidney stones on both sides and I heard berberis vulgaris mother tincture might help. Is it really effective or does he need surgery for this?
It helps in diluting the stones and breaks them into small pieces. These very small pieces of kidney stones can then easily pass through the urinary tract without obstruction. In most cases, Berberis Vulgaris does wonders and brings positive results in the condition of kidney stones in a very short period of time.

My recent USG showed an enlarged prostate at 75cc along with fatty liver and cholelithiasis. I might need surgery any idea about the cost and recommendations for a good hospital?
The USG findings of an enlarged prostate at 75cc, along with fatty liver and cholelithiasis (gallstones), indicate multiple health concerns. The enlarged prostate, specifically benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is common in older men and can cause urinary issues. Fatty liver, also known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is often linked to metabolic issues and can progress to more serious liver problems if not addressed. Cholelithiasis, or gallstones, can cause pain and digestive issues and may require medical intervention. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and management plan for all three conditions
