Inhaltsangabe

If you are interested in this book, it is possible that you have already experienced the buckling pain of a kidney stone attack. But not all kidney stones are alike - they vary in size, composition, and clinical manifestations, such as how much pain they cause. So, how exactly do medical professionals diagnose kidney stones? This book explains how patients are medically evaluated for stones, including what factors are considered that increase the likelihood a patient will develop a stone, and what tests can be performed to confirm the diagnosis. If you have been diagnosed with kidney stones - now what? What procedure to remove the stone is best for you? This book outlines the different treatment options for kidney stones, including medical expulsion therapy and minimally invasive techniques. Some surgeons may be more accustomed to one technique than another, so they may more readily recommend that procedure over another one that could be better for you. Therefore, it is helpful to review what different treatments are available. We recommend you browse through all the options in this book, including the less invasive procedures, to find the one that is most appropriate for you. This book also includes the latest research studies for novel treatments of kidney stones, including using sexual activity as a way to improve passage of ureteral stones.
