How to get relief while trying to pass a kidney stone?

Dr. Fidias De Leon answered

Specializes in Nuclear Medicine

Pain control: If the urologist already reviewed your case and decided that the stone is small enough to pass without intervention, then pain control would be indicated. Other medications are usually given to help pass the stones including flomax (tamsulosin). See your treating physician for consultation.
