Kidney stones are the size of green beans, how long does it take to pass?

Patient's question:

A 65mm kidney stone, can it be easily passed by taking lithotripsy medication? Also, for an 87mm kidney stone, does it need immediate surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Ureteral stones can cause symptoms such as lower back discomfort and vomiting.
Advice:
It is recommended that you drink more water and urinate more frequently. If the stones are small, they may pass out with the urine. If the stones are larger, a lithotripsy surgery can be used to break them up. Currently, your diet is not ideal, so it is best to focus on high-protein foods, such as eggs and dairy products. Wishing you a smooth recovery!
