Frequently asked questions

How long does treatment for kidney stones last?
The duration of treatment can vary considerably depending on the size and location of the stone, as well as the technique we use. Some procedures are outpatient, while others require a short hospital stay. I will give you a more precise estimate after your assessment.
How are treatment costs managed, and are there financing options?
Costs depend on the type of procedure and whether hospitalization is required. During the consultation, we will provide you with all detailed information, and if needed, we can explore payment options or agreements with insurance companies to facilitate your access to treatment.
What side effects might I expect after a kidney stone procedure?
As with any medical procedure, some temporary side effects such as mild pain, blood in the urine, or discomfort when urinating may occur. My goal is to minimize these discomforts, and I will give you all the instructions to manage them properly during your recovery.
What happens during the first consultation for kidney stones?
During your first consultation, I will listen carefully to your symptoms and medical history. Then, I will perform a physical examination and, if necessary, request additional tests to get a clear diagnosis. Together, we will define the best path forward for your situation.
Are there contraindications for kidney stone procedures?
Each procedure has its own considerations. For example, certain medical conditions or the use of some medications can influence the choice of technique. Therefore, it is crucial that you share your complete medical history with me to evaluate the best option for you.
What treatment alternatives exist if I don't want surgery or if my case is mild?
For small stones, it is sometimes possible to manage the situation with medication and lifestyle changes, aiming for natural expulsion. However, for larger or symptomatic stones, minimally invasive options are usually the most recommended and effective. We will evaluate all possibilities during your consultation.
