A 7x5 mm stone at the vesicoureteral junction (VUJ) can be treated with medication or surgery depending on individual factors. While some stones this size might pass naturally with medical expulsion therapy (MET), including pain management and increasing fluids, surgical intervention may be necessary, especially if the stone is causing obstruction or infection. The decision will depend on factors like the stone's location, your symptoms, overall health, and the potential risks and benefits of each treatment option
