My father is 70 and has had an enlarged prostate for years. Recently, he's been dealing with urine retention for a few months. Are there any non-surgical treatments for this? Would homeopathy or ayurvedic options work better for his condition?

Is it possible to pass a 6mm kidney stone without needing surgery doc I'm really worried about this and want to know my options

Around 90% of small kidney stones (smaller than 6 mm) and 60% of large stones (larger than 6 mm) pass on their own. If you have a large kidney stone or one that's blocking the flow of pee, you'll need to have a procedure to break up and/or remove it
