When kidney stone symptoms keep disrupting life

Stone pain can come in waves, disappear, then return. An appointment can help you understand whether waiting is still reasonable or whether treatment may be needed.

Stone pain that comes in waves
Side, back, or flank pain keeps returning or intensifies unpredictably.
A stone that is not passing
You have been told to wait, but symptoms or concern have not resolved.
Blood in urine or nausea
Symptoms like blood in urine, nausea, or painful urination may deserve urology evaluation.
Recurring kidney stones
Repeated stones can leave you needing a clearer prevention and treatment plan.
The solution

Lithotripsy is an option, not a guess

Lithotripsy uses energy to break kidney stones into smaller pieces. For some patients, it may help the stone pass or make treatment easier.

Not every kidney stone needs lithotripsy. A urology evaluation can help determine whether shock wave lithotripsy, laser treatment, monitoring, or another approach is appropriate.

Common questions

Everything you need to know

How do I know if I need lithotripsy?

A urologist looks at stone size, location, symptoms, and imaging. Lithotripsy may be considered for some stones, but other options may fit better.

Is lithotripsy the same as laser stone treatment?

No. Shock wave lithotripsy and laser lithotripsy are different approaches. Your provider can explain which option, if any, matches your stone.

Should I keep waiting for the stone to pass?

Some stones can pass on their own, but not all. If symptoms keep returning or imaging shows a stone that may not pass, it is reasonable to request an appointment.

What should I bring to the appointment?

Bring imaging reports, ER or urgent-care notes, medication lists, and any details about prior stones if you have them.

What happens during a lithotripsy appointment?

You’ll usually have imaging and a review of your stone before treatment. During the appointment, the team explains how lithotripsy works, discusses anesthesia and aftercare, and reviews what to expect next.

Still have questions?

Have a question about kidney stone symptoms, lithotripsy, or treatment timing? Start with an appointment request and the team can help you understand your options.
