More about this service
Kidney stones are hard, mineral-based deposits that form inside the kidneys when certain substances in the urine become concentrated and form crystals. Stones can vary in size and may pass naturally through the urinary tract, while larger stones can become lodged and cause pain, bleeding or urinary obstruction.
Treatment depends on factors such as the size and location of the stone, symptoms, urinary blockage, infection and the overall health of the patient. A urologist evaluates these factors before recommending observation, medical management or a stone-removal procedure.
