Does Size Matter...When It Comes to Kidney Stones? Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee Answer a Listener's Question on Kidney Stone Treatment

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men’s Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in urology care and the best urology humor out there.In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee answer a listener's question about kidney stones. The listener asks, "I've had a kidney stone with no symptoms for the last 4 years. Would you recommend if it's not bothering me to just hope that it never moves? They've tried to blast it with sound but were unsuccessful. I'm wondering what my chances are that it will ever dislodge." Along with answering this question, Dr. Mistry explains what are some of the likely causes of kidney stones, why size matters regarding treatment but not necessarily in terms of the felt pain stones can cause, what treatments are available, and when surgery is likely to be a necessary step to prevent a dangerous "silent blockage." Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee also discuss the kind of response you should expect from your urologist if you are a recurrent stone former. At Urology Specialists, we provide holistic urologic care that includes helpful nutrition consultations when needed. Our in-house nutritionist, Robert Mendiola, can help evaluate your diet and lifestyle to help you address kidney stone formation and prevent existing stones from growing. If you enjoyed today’s episode, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share us with a friend!
