You have certainly heard of the pain that kidney stones can cause. They are caused by minerals and salts forming stones that get stuck. Although they start small, they can grow larger in size and cause issues. Ones that stay in place often don't cause issues but sometimes they travel down the ureter and become lodged blocking urine and causing pain. There are several risk factors and treatments as well as lifestyle changes that can help reduce their likelihood. Schedule an appointment to discuss options. |
