I am having kidney stones in my both kidneys. In right kidney there is only one stone of 3-4 mm in size whereas in left side stone is between kidney and bladder of 6.5 mm, doctor recommended me to go for surgery but I want to know is there is a possibility of removing stones by medicines not by operation.

Dear lybrate-user, Stone in the right kidney is small, you can observe for spontaneous passage. On left side, I presume you mean stone is in the ureter. Then you have to do some imaging like CT Urography Or IVP to see if their is swelling in the kidney (Hydronephrosis). If there is Hydronephrosis and at the same time if you are symptomatic then you need removal of stone. But about 25 to 30% of ureteric stone of 6.5 mm can pass spontaneously or with medicines also. Best Wishes
