Urine tests to analyze the composition of stones and detect signs of infection
Treatment options for kidney stones depend on their size and severity. Small stones may pass through the urinary tract naturally with increased hydration and pain management. However, larger stones or those causing severe symptoms may require medical intervention:
Medications: Pain relievers and medications to help pass the stones more easily.
Lithotripsy: A procedure that uses shock waves to break up larger stones into smaller pieces that can be passed in the urine.
