I've had kidney stones for over 20 years with 7 surgeries already. Now there's a 6mm stone at the VUJ and my doctor prescribed cifaxime 200, Uritin 04, and aquzide 12.5. Right now, I only feel sharpness in my penis and discomfort around that area no back pain or bleeding. Can a stone this size pass naturally or do I need to worry?

There are several factors which predict some passage. Size of stone, duration, inflammation etc. Need more information.

I have kidney stones measuring 1.2cm and 2.5cm, plus an 8mm and two smaller ones total of 5 stones in my left kidney. The doctor said I might need 2 or 3 surgeries, but I'm trying to avoid surgery and dissolve them naturally with ayurvedic tablets. Do these tablets actually work or is surgery the only option?

While ayurvedic tablets can play a role in managing kidney stones, especially in supporting the body's natural healing process, they are not a guaranteed solution for stones of this size and number. The stones you have (1.2cm, 2.5cm, 8mm, and two smaller) are large enough that surgery might be necessary, as suggested by your doctor.
