Bilateral Nephrolithiasis
Basically I've a a kidney stone in both kidneys... one measuring 14mm and other around 8mm... The stone seems to have doubled in size in just a year .... I wanted to know do I need to get a surgery on an immediate basis or can I wait ? Also there's flank squeezing kind of pain only in the left kidney. The pain happens 3-4 times in a month.. One stone is in the mid pole and the other in mid to lower pole region...
