Is medicine a substitute for surgery in case of kidney stone ?Hi. doctor , I have a stone in my kidney about 12 mm size and i showed to one urologist he said he will check through laser and destroy it. I AM afraid i told him to give medications instead of surgery . He gave me medicines like MagAsorb(2 tablets twice daily) with No-URIC(1 tablets 2 times daily). My advice is that do it really help with this medications. I have heard of systone(himalaya) do this will help easily with enough water to pass by. Pleasem, advice.... THANKYOU very Much
His would suggest you take the advice of your Urologist. A 12 mm stone is unlikely to get out spontaneously except in the rare event of it being a completely uric acid stone. I doubt if cyst one will help. It is more likely to be useful for stones less than 7 mm. Hope I have been of help.
