Kidney stones form when high levels of certain minerals accumulate in the
urine. The solid, pebble-like stone can pass out of the body during urination,
but sometimes it gets lodged in the ureter and causes sharp pain in the
back, side, lower abdomen, and groin. If you experience any of these symptoms,
now is the time to consider a visit to Urology Clinic of Winchester| Valley Health.
Treatment
We use advanced urologic care to treat kidney stones, including medical
and surgical treatment options tailored to each patient’s unique
needs. If a stone does not pass on its own or with medication, we often
treat patients using general anesthesia and minimally invasive procedures
that break up or extract the kidney stone through the use of lasers and/or
small telescopes. Our treatment options are intended to minimize pain,
shorten recovery time and improve quality of life for our patients.
