For an enlarged prostate of 126cc, surgery is a common and often necessary option, but it's not always the only option. Other treatments, including medications and minimally invasive procedures, are also available and may be suitable depending on individual circumstances and symptoms.

I have a 9.5 mm stone in my right kidney and a 4.5 mm one in the left can these pass naturally or do I need meds to help break them down? Really hoping to avoid surgery if possible.

Stones under 5 mm often pass naturally; 9.5 mm may need lithotripsy or stenting. Hydration, tamsulosin, and pain control are important until reviewed by a urologist.
