Frequently Asked Questions

What causes kidney stones?

Kidney stones form when urine contains high concentrations of stone-forming substances — most commonly calcium oxalate. Risk factors include inadequate fluid intake, high sodium and animal protein diet, obesity, certain medications, family history, and underlying metabolic conditions. Recurrence is common without addressing contributing factors.

What does passing a kidney stone feel like?

Kidney stone pain (renal colic) is characteristically severe and colicky — coming in waves — typically radiating from the flank to the groin. Nausea, vomiting, blood in urine, and urgency often accompany it. Pain location shifts as the stone moves through the ureter.

Will I need a procedure to remove the stone?

Many stones — particularly those smaller than 5–6 mm — pass spontaneously within days to weeks with adequate hydration and pain management. Alpha-blockers (tamsulosin) may facilitate passage. Larger stones, those causing obstruction, or stones with infection require urological intervention — shockwave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, or rarely surgery.

How do I prevent kidney stones from coming back?

High fluid intake — targeting 2.5 liters of urine output daily — is the most important prevention strategy. Dietary adjustments depend on stone type: reducing sodium and animal protein for calcium stones, limiting oxalate-rich foods for calcium oxalate stones. A 24-hour urine collection guides targeted prevention.

What side effects are associated with kidney stone treatments?

NSAIDs and opioids for pain carry their respective GI, renal, and sedation-related risks. Alpha-blockers may cause dizziness and retrograde ejaculation. Shockwave lithotripsy may cause bruising and temporary blood in urine. Ureteroscopy carries a small risk of ureteral injury and infection. Kidney Stone visit What to expect from a Kidney Stone visit
