My dad has a 13 mm kidney stone and the doctor recommended keyhole surgery but we really want to avoid an operation. We heard homeopathy might have good treatment options - can homeopathy help dissolve or pass a stone this size without surgery?

A 13mm kidney stone likely requires medical intervention, as they are less likely to pass naturally. The most common treatment options include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), ureteroscopy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). ESWL uses shock waves to break the stone into smaller fragments, while ureteroscopy and PCNL are procedures that physically remove or break up the stone
