I'm dealing with kidney stones in both of my kidneys. There's a 4mm stone on the right and a 3mm one on the left. Can you guide me on how I should go about removing these stones?

-Small kidney stones like yours often pass naturally with adequate hydration. Drink at least 3-4 liters of water daily, include citrus juices (like lemon water) to help dissolve stones, and consult your doctor for pain management or medications if needed.

Ayurvedic herbs and physiotherapy may support varicocele symptoms but recurrence risk is higher without surgical repair.Delhi urologists like Dr‚ÄØSingh\@AIIMS specialize in non-surgical management.
