I've been having really bad back pain and the doctor found a 6mm stone in my kidney pipe. They recommended a small surgery like blasting the stone but I'm wondering if it's absolutely necessary or if medicine could work instead

A 6mm kidney stone can be treated with a combination of medications and lifestyle changes to encourage it to pass naturally, or it may require surgery like lithotripsy. The decision depends on factors like the stone's location, size, type, and whether it's causing complications like obstruction or infection
