My name is Skye and I'm male, and I personally love my name (No, I'm not gay). I've never found a straight-up definition of this name, but I have been given multiple separate answers, and people have told me it means: eternal, winged, protected, sheltering, and enduring. So for me really, it's a survivor's name.
Diagnosis of kidney stones is best accomplished using an ultrasound, intravenous pyleography (IVP), or a CT scan. Most kidney stones will pass through the ureter to the bladder on their own with time. Treatment includes pain-control medications and, in some cases, medications to facilitate the passage of urine.
Stents for Kidney Stones A stent (a flexible hollow tube) is sometimes used as part of a person's treatment for kidney stones. Stents may be placed when there is swelling after a large kidney stone has been removed, when a stone cannot be removed, or if there is an obstruction in the ureter -- the tube that carries urine from your kidneys to the bladder. Any discomfort a stent for kidney stones causes usually goes away in a few days.
