Kidney stones form when substances in the urine become concentrated. Some pass on their own; others need treatment.
The right approach depends on the size and position of the stone and how it is affecting you. Your specialist will talk through the options rather than assume one path.
Prevention matters. Fluid intake, diet and any underlying medical conditions all play a part, and a prevention plan is a normal part of stone care.
If you have had a stone before, a review can help reduce the chance of another episode.
