Patient Education:  

Kidney stones are little stones formed by salts and minerals that build up and harden in the urine formed inside the kidney. They get carried out by the body when you urinate, but sometimes they get stuck. If they get stuck this causes a lot of pain. You have two stones a 5 mm stone and a 2 mm stone. You will be given flomax to help relax the muscles so that the stone may pass on its own. We want you to urinate through a special strainer so that if the stone passes with urination you will see it. If you don‘t pass the stone on your own then your urologist will use a scope that will go up your urethra to find the stones and break them up with laser.
