Kidney Stones

Kidney stones can cause many individuals’ great discomfort. At Midlands Urology Center, our doctors use innovative treatments to dissolve kidney stones and get patients back to enjoying life as quickly as possible. Kidney stones are accumulations made up of calcium oxalate and are the result of a buildup of dissolved minerals inside the kidneys. The stones are crystalline in structure and are frequently sharp.

Kidney stones can vary in size from a grain of sand to the size of a golf ball. Kidney stones can pass through the urinary tract without a person knowing it. However, generally, they cause intense pain while passing. The stones can also stay in the patient's kidneys and urinary tract. This can cause several issues, including blockages in the ureter as well as discomfort.
