I 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
