Question

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
