They don’t do anything for kidney stones unless you need pain medication. They will do an IVP to be sure you have kidney stones but unless they are large they will just give you a strainer to strain your urine with so you can tell when the stone passes. If the stones are large they may suggest lithotripsy where they put you in a big tub of water and shoot sonic waves at the kidney stones to break them up.
I have had several stones all to big to pass. Typically what they do is give you some sort of pain meds and a catheter if you need it. They will typically preform a CT scan to show if in fact you have a stone and do a urine dip to see if you have blood in your urine. If the stone is to big to pass they will more then likely refer you to a urologist to see if they will need to remove it for you. Good luck I know they are painful.
It really depends on how big the stones are and if they think you can pass them on your own with pain meds.
They don’t do a lot of IVPs anymore (intravenous pyelogram). A doctor can get better results from a CT or cat scan.
If the stones are really big they will go in and break them apart so that you can pass them.
Good luck.
