11mm kidney stone trapped in ureter. Should I get surgery?
I have a ureteroscopy scheduled 7/7/26 at 6pm. The stone has been stuck in my left ureter for at least 2 months. CT results indicate it is a 11mm 1140UDH which is very hard. They will use laser to destroy it. Doctor says it will not pass on is own but given that I don't feel any pain, I think I should just wait. I also have health anxiety and fear complications. I also read someone passed a stone this big but this is considered a big one. I M28, never had a surgery in my life. I am using claude AI to learn more about it. I just wanted to share this. I would have to use a stent for 2 weeks, they told me. My family (brothers) say this is something minor, I will have my 20 year old newphew taking care of me till 2 days post surgery. Is it enough? Thank you.
