Kidney Stone
I am suffering from kidney stone. As per sonography, doctor has revealed that it is 15mm. I thereby ask you is there any need for operation or medicines are enough for curing. If need of operation, what will be the avg cost for lepotripsy and endoscopy. Thank You.

15 mm will not go without surgery. You can try Lithotripter depending on stone location
