13mm kidney stone at right lower ureter
Hi, I have two kidney stones one is right lower ureteric calculus (13mm) at crossing of iliac vessels with moderate right hydroureteronephrosis and second is 5mm calculus at lower pole of left kidney.
My creatinine is 1.13, urea (urease uv) is 18 and uric acid is 8. Is there any way we can dissolve and pass it without surgery? If yes, Can we wait for the medication treatment as urologist suggested urgent surgery due to moderate swelling in right ureter?
Please help me with guidance I want to avoid surgery if possible. Can ESWL help in my case?

Hi according to international guidelines which r all evidence based... any ureteral stone more than 10mm should be operated upon
There is no alternative
Also there r medicines to prevent stones frkm getting bigger but no medicine to dissolve it
