Just found out I have a 1.2mm kidney stone and my doctor recommended surgery. Is there any way to treat this with just meds or do I really need the surgery?

I'm really worried because my mom, who was just diagnosed with kidney stones last Saturday, hasnt had a bowel movement since then and now it's Tuesday night. I understand that the medication shes on can cause constipation, and we tried giving her prunes, other high-fiber foods, and even some magnesium citrate, but nothing seems to work. Is there anything else we can do? What would you suggest to help her with this issue?

Encourage her for consuming high fibre diet and plenty of water,you can try with Laxative suspensions like LOOZ syrup 10 ml at bed time.

my dad is 80 but otherwise healthy - is laser surgery a good option for his prostate enlargement or are there risks we should know about at his age

Laser prostatectomy, especially holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) or photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP), can be a viable option for an 80-year-old healthy man with prostate enlargement. While risks exist, the benefits of improved urinary flow and reduced symptoms often outweigh them, especially when performed at a reputable facility according to RG Hospitals. However, it's crucial to have a thorough discussion with a urologist about potential complications, recovery time, and individual health factors.
