I am a female and was told i have kidney stones after going to an emergency room. i am going to a urologist. what will happen at that exam?

Evaluation: The first thing the urologist is likely to discuss is if the kidney stones need to be treated or not. Small stones can often be followed, but if they are bigger or in a place where they are blocking the flow of urine and causing pain, then they often need surgery. The next step is preventing future stones. This usually involves some blood work and may involve a 24 hour urine collection.

It depends : The urologist will most likely do a urinalysis and culture as well as a kidney imaging like ultrasound or ct kub with contrast if you've already not done so and decide if you're a candidate for lithotripsy or stenting.
