Got a 9 mm stone in my kidney. The other one was removed due to a non cancerous tumor. Any available treatment?

The treatment depends on the stone composition.
There are some types of stones that could be dissolved using medication.
If not, your stone needs to be fragmented using lithotripsy (a double J insertion might be needed to protect your single kidney) or fulguratedd using flexible ureteroscopy.
