Stone Treatment
Stone treatment refers to various methods used to manage and eliminate kidney stones, which are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form in the kidneys. Treatment options can include medication to help pass the stones, dietary changes to prevent future formation, and procedures like lithotripsy, which uses sound waves to break stones into smaller pieces.
In more severe cases, surgical interventions may be necessary, such as ureteroscopy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy, to remove larger stones directly. The choice of treatment depends on factors like the size and location of the stones, as well as the patient's overall health.
