My dad has been having some kidney pain and tests confirmed he has kidney stones. The doctors are recommending surgery right away without trying any medications first. Can you review the reports and let me know if surgery is really necessary? If yes, how soon should it be done?

I'm having a lot of discomfort on my right side and just found out I have a kidney stone. They gave me some painkillers and did an ultrasound showing it's about 3.9 mm. Is there a good chance this will pass on its own with urine? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Urologist opinion is advised to the patient.
