I have an 11mm stone in my left kidney and my doctors recommended RIRS laser surgery but I'm wondering if lithotripsy could work instead for my case

Surgery is advised to the patient since the stone size is larger .Since stone size is 11mm if untreated may lead to complications like abdominal pain,backpain and infection etc.

I have a 9.6mm stone stuck in my right upper ureter with mild hydronephrosis, and there's also some right adrenal linear calcification. I've had lithotripsy before in 2018 and really don't want surgery again. Are there any Ayurvedic, Homeopathic, or Allopathic medicines that can help pass the stone? I've been urinating very frequently too could that be related? What are my options for non-surgical treatment?

Once the stone formed it has to be removed by some kind of intervention either it is lithotripsy or RIRS or PCNL. There are no medicines which can dissolve the stone but next time you get the stone out after the surgery get its biochemical analysis to know its composition. Accordingly you can have your diet modifications.
