Hello welcome to Chat Doctor in the query you didn't mention the size of the stone in the kidney.depending upon the size and composition of the stone various treatments are there including PCNL, shock wave lithography. Or if the size is too small go for heavy intake of water,it naturally gets cleared in the urine. If the stone is removed from kidney, then kidney function gets normalized. Hernia is not a surgical emergency unless it gets strangulated(sudden pain). So 1st get corrected for kidney stone and then for hernia. Hope you understand my suggestion have a speed recovery Chat Doctor.
