Kidney stones are known to be hard deposits formed by the build-up of minerals like calcium or waste products like uric acid in the kidneys. They begin tiny, but as additional minerals adhere to them, they might become larger. Many times the kidney stones do pass on their own and might not require treatment. Other times they are painful or become lodged in the urinary system and may require surgery to be removed. If someone has kidney stones, they may need treatment or surgery to remove them.
Follow up care: Recovery durations do vary by treatment, most patients are fully healed and able to resume their usual activities in six weeks. Many patients feel significantly better within the first week, but caution must be exercised to ensure complete recovery.
