View allFound a 3mm calculus in my reports is this something that requires surgery or can it be treated with medications? What complications should I be aware of based on the sonography and CT scan findings?
A 3mm calculus might not require surgery unless it causes significant pain, blockage, or infection. Medications like alpha blockers and drinking plenty of fluids can help in passing the stone.

My 80-year-old grandfather has prostate enlargement and the doctor recommended testicle removal surgery but he also has prostate cancer is this surgery safe for him given his condition?
Testicle removal surgery (orchiectomy) is a form of hormone therapy for prostate cancer and can be used to manage prostate enlargement, but it's not a common treatment for prostate cancer alone. The decision of whether to proceed with the surgery needs to be made based on individual factors, including the severity of prostate enlargement, the stage and aggressiveness of prostate cancer, and the patient's overall health and life expectancy

I've had 7 mm stones in both kidneys for over 7 years and have been taking medicines but they're not dissolving. What else can I try to get rid of them without surgery? The medicines don't seem to be working anymore
For kidney stones that are not dissolving with medication, consider Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL), a non-surgical procedure that uses sound waves to break up stones into smaller pieces that can pass in urine. Alternatively, Ureteroscopy (URS) or Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) can be used to directly access and remove or fragment the stones
