What Are Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones can bring intense pain and sudden discomfort. At Modern Urology, patients receive advanced care with a focus on comfort and lasting relief. Kidney stones are hard mineral and salt deposits that form inside the kidneys. These stones develop when urine contains high levels of certain substances, such as calcium, oxalate, and uric acid. What causes kidney stones include dehydration, high-sodium diets, and certain medical conditions. Kidney stone pain is often severe. It can start in the lower back or side and move toward the abdomen and groin. Some describe it as sharp, cramping, or an intense wave of discomfort. The pain may come and go as the stone moves through the urinary tract. Seeking timely care helps prevent complications. Contact our Miami, FL team to schedule a consultation to explore your treatment options.
How Are Kidney Stones Treated?
Treatment for kidney stones depends on the size, location, and severity of symptoms. Some small stones pass naturally with increased fluid intake and pain management. For larger stones, treatment options include medications, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) to break stones into smaller pieces, ureteroscopy to locate and remove fragment stones, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for larger or complex stones. Modern Urology provides cutting-edge treatments tailored to each patient's needs.
What Are the Symptoms of Kidney Stones?
Early signs of kidney stones can be easy to overlook. As stones grow or begin to move, symptoms become more noticeable. Common symptoms of kidney stones include:
- Severe pain in the side, lower back, or below the ribs
- Pain that spreads to the abdomen or groin
- Burning sensation while urinating
- Frequent need to urinate
- Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
- Blood in the urine
- Nausea or vomiting
- Fever and chills in cases of infection
