• For small stones that present with mild symptoms:

• But for bigger stones with extreme/moderate symptoms, you may have to use surgery or minimally invasive treatments to remove stones, such as:
  • Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, where sound wave is used to break stones.
  • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, which involves surgical removal through incisions.
  • Ureteroscope, thin tube-like equipment carrying camera which will help locate stones so that other tools can be used to remove them.
  • Parathyroid gland surgery, which is used to treat phosphate stones are caused by overactive parathyroid glands.
     
• No matter what kind of stones you have, we advise:
  • Drinking a lot of water if this is the case.
  • Having a proper diet that is low in salt/animal protein/calcium - but this depends on the type of stones you have.
