I am 22 years old female and I have 4 kidney stones 2 in left and 2 in right kidney. Their size ranges from 3.7-4.3 mm. Should I go for lithotripsy or let the stones pass on their own? What treatment should I get for these stones? I fear about the pain it will cause. Should I keep any pain medicine with me? Like cataspa?
