A member asked:
How can kidney stones embedded inside the kidney tissues be treated? is it possible to remove them from the tissue? i have them which are causing frequent utis but urologist says they cannot be removed. true?

Surgical removal would produce tissue damage and scarring worse than the stones do by themselves. You do not remove imbedded stones.

Kidney stones form in the duct system which collects urine from the kidney and not in the kidney tissue. Frequent infection necessitates they be removed. They CAN be removed. If your Urologist can not do it he should explain why or you should seek another
