What's the best way to end kidney stones or help with the pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See a urologist: Getting rid depends upon size & location of stones. Small ones can pass spontaneosly thus drink lots of water. Stones stuck in ureter may need a bupass stent (tube) or ureteroscopic laser treatment or "basket extraction. Stones up to 1.5 cm can respond to shockwave lithotripsy, larger stone require percutaneous lithotripsy. Need dr's help for pain, may require narcotics. Good lucjk.
