I have a 4mm calculus in my left vesicoureteric junction and mild left hydroureteronephrosis, plus a 2mm microlith in the interpolar region of my left kidney. Should I be considering surgery for this or are there other treatment options? I'm a bit worried about what this means for my kidney health.
