Serious symptoms include blood in your urine, fever or chills, changes in skin color, severe pain in your back or side, vomiting, or a burning sensation when you urinate. If you're waiting for a smaller stone to pass, call your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms.  If you haven't seen a doctor or haven't been diagnosed with kidney stones, seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms. Doctors take ultrasounds or x-rays to find kidney stones. If they determine a stone is too large to pass on its own, they'll recommend a treatment method based on the stone's size and location. Your doctor might prescribe medications that help break down and remove the substance that's causing the stones. For instance, potassium citrate is used to manage calcium stones, which are the most common. For uric acid stones, the drug allopurinol helps lower levels of uric acid in the body. Side effects vary and may include upset stomach, diarrhea, nausea, and drowsiness. Let your doctor know if any side effects are persistent or severe. Digestive disorders, gout, kidney disease, obesity, and some medications can contribute to kidney stones. In order to lower your risk of future stones, consult your doctor about treating an underlying condition, making dietary changes, or switching medications. For struvite stones, which are caused by infections, your doctor will likely prescribe an antibiotic. Take any medication as directed, and don't stop taking your medicine without consulting your doctor. Lithotripsy, or shock wave therapy, is used to treat most large kidney stones that are located in the kidneys or upper urinary tract. A machine sends high-pressure sound waves through the body, which break large stones into smaller pieces. These pieces can then be passed when you go to the bathroom.  You'll be given medication to help you relax or fall asleep during the procedure. It takes about an hour, and you'll spend about 2 hours in recovery. Most people go home on the same day as the procedure. Rest for 1 to 2 days before resuming your normal activities. Pieces of the stone may take 4 to 8 weeks to pass. During that time, you may have pain in your back or side, experience nausea, or see small amounts of blood in your urine. The lower urinary tract includes the bladder and urethra, or the tube where urine leaves the body. A special thin device is used to find and remove larger stones in these areas.  Your doctor may also recommend a similar procedure called a ureteroscopy to remove stones in the tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder. If a stone is too large to be removed, a laser breaks it into pieces small enough to pass when you go to the bathroom. Cystoscopies and ureteroscopies are often performed under general anesthesia, which means you'll be asleep during the procedure. Most people are able to go home the same day as the procedure. For the first 24 hours after the procedure, you might experience a burning sensation when you urinate and see small amounts of blood in your urine. Let your doctor know if these symptoms last more than a day. Kidney stones rarely require surgery, but it might be necessary if other options are unavailable or ineffective. A tube is inserted into the kidney through a small incision in the back. The stones are then either removed or broken up with a laser. Some people spend at least 2 to 3 days in the hospital after a nephrolithotomy, which is the technical name for the surgical procedure. Your doctor will provide instructions about changing the dressing, caring for the incision site, and resting after the procedure.
