Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose urolithiasis
Do you have abdominal (stomach) pain in any particular location?
Do you have back pain?
Do you have pain in the lumbar back?
Was pain on one side of your lower back your first symptom?
Do you have abdominal pain (stomach ache)?
Treatment depends on the size of stone. A small stone may pass out by itself - patients are asked to drink more water and take painkillers in the meantime. Larger stones may need procedures like shockwave therapy, which breaks down a large stone into smaller pieces that are easily passed out. Finally, surgery may be needed to remove the stone or for a tube to be inserted, bypassing the stone.
