Kidney stones can be seen in the urology department or, if larger and more specialized, there may be a separate lithotripsy center, a place that specializes in treating kidney stones. Kidney stones are very common in urology and are mainly related to poor diet, low water intake, low exercise and personal health. After visiting the urology department, the doctor will decide the treatment plan of the stone according to the size and location of the stone. If the stones are small, under 5mm, you may be prescribed some medication to remove the stones and be instructed to drink more water, urinate more often, and exercise more. If the stones are large or not very large, but the shape of the stones is not very regular, it is not good to apply drugs to remove stones, you may have to use external shock wave lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy, or even open surgery and other treatment methods.
