I have a 15 mm stone in my right kidney at the PUJ and a 9 mm stone in my left kidney, both causing mild hydronephrosis. My doctor recommended laser surgery with a stent, but I'm wondering how long I can delay this procedure. Are there any homeopathic medicines that could dissolve stones this size? My serum creatinine is 1.13, and I've attached my KUB sonography results.

Large PUJ stones with hydronephrosis need surgery soon—homeopathy is unlikely to work; delay risks kidney damage.
