Can kidney stone be removed without surgery
I am 38 year old male and I had severe pain in left side of abdomen so went for a ultrasound which showed some small 4mm kidney stone. Now I have taken pain killer to relieve pain. But can I get treated for this kidney stone with medication and avoid surgery?

Keep well hydrated and avoid junk food. The dietary changes is the best medicine for long term rather than taking medications. Do you urologist if you continue to have pain as it may be due another stone in the ureter
