What is the treatment for uretery colic? and what tests do they take before treating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Comfort/lithotripsy: The primary efforts revolve around initial pain control and trying to flush the kidney. If the stone or stones are big enough they set up lithotripsy, which involves a special shock wave bath to turn the stone into smaller fragments which will flush out easier.
