In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee answer a listener's question about treatment for kidney stones. As many people are painfully aware, passing a kidney stone can be a nasty business. The pain from kidney stones can be felt in the flank, the bladder, the testicle, or even in the abdomen. Typically, this pain is caused when the stone moves through the narrow tube from the kidney down to the bladder, NOT when it passes through the urethra during excretion. Furthermore, the size of the stone does not necessarily correlate with the pain it causes--even 1-2 millimeter stones can be very painful while some people pass much larger ones without difficulty. Anti-inflammatory medications like Toradol or ibuprofen can help patients cope with this pain. If you haven't passed your stone within two weeks, it is unlikely to pass on its own and will likely require surgical intervention. Remember that your pain may abate BEFORE your stone has been passed--don't assume it is gone unless you've actually seen it! When in doubt, a follow-up X-ray or test for blood in the urine is always the safest way to ensure your kidney stone is gone for good.
