My doctor prescribed me Drosis XT deflazacort 30mg and tamsulosin 0.4mg twice a day for 10 days along with other meds for kidney stones. Is taking 30mg of steroid twice a day safe for kidney stones? Are steroids usually given for this issue? Will the stones not pass without steroids?

My dad had prostate surgery on June 25th and the doctor said he recovered well with no issues. But since yesterday, he's been passing small clots in his urine and it's slightly reddish at first before turning clear. He doesn't have any pain and hasn't overexerted himself. Should we be concerned about this?

urine culture and sensitivity is advised to the patient.

I recently found out I have a 7mm stone in my left kidney, and I'm worried about whether it's dangerous or not. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery, so are there any good treatments out there for this? Would love to hear more about my options.

7mm renal calculi definitely needs surgical management.... any blockage of urinary flow due to calculi wil lead to infection or hydronephrosis . kindly consult urologist and get treated...
