Kidney Stones (Urinary Stones)

Are you experiencing sudden, severe pain in your back or side? Noticed blood in your urine or difficulty passing urine? Have you been told you have kidney stones and aren't sure what to do next? These symptoms can be extremely uncomfortable, and you don't need to manage them alone.

Urinary stones, also called kidney stones or renal calculi, are hard deposits that form in the kidneys or urinary tract when minerals and salts crystallise in the urine. These stones can range from tiny grains to larger masses and may cause significant discomfort as they move through the urinary system. While some stones pass naturally, others may require medical intervention.

Our urology specialists provide evaluation and treatment options for urinary stones, and our doctors will discuss what approach may be suitable for your individual situation based on stone size, location, and your overall health.
