My husband just had a urine test, and his epithelial cell count came back as 810. He had appendicitis surgery about 3 years ago, but he's been experiencing some pain in his lower abdomen recently. I'm really concernedshould we be worrying about a serious issue here, or could this be something normal?

View allI have a 6.5 mm stone in the lower middle part of my left kidney. Can this be treated with medications or will I need surgery? I'm really worried about the options and what would work best for me.
For 6mm kidney stones, medical treatment is often recommended, which involves increasing urine output. Some medications can dissolve certain types of stones, such as uric acid or cystine stones. However, these medications cannot dissolve calcium stones, which account for 80% of kidney stones

Found out I have a 19mm right PU junction calculus and a 10mm right renal calculus with mild hydronephrosis on the right side. Do I really need surgery to remove these stones or are there any medicines that can help instead?
For your 19mm right PU junction calculus and 10mm right renal calculus with mild hydronephrosis, surgery is likely the most appropriate treatment option, particularly for the larger stone. While medications can help with pain management and sometimes assist in passing smaller stones, the 19mm stone is unlikely to pass on its own and may require surgical intervention
