kidney stone treatment
What are kidney stones?
Kidney stones are small, hard deposits that form inside your kidneys and can affect any part of your urinary tract. The stones are made of mineral and acid salts. Often, stones form when the urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together.
Passing kidney stones can be quite painful. Passing the stones should not cause any permanent damage. Depending on what is discovered, the treatment can vary from taking pain medication and drinking lots of fluid, to surgery. Preventive treatment may be necessary if you are at risk of developing them again.
