Kidney stone and prostate treatment
Laser, endoscopic and other procedures for suitable kidney stone and prostate conditions, selected after a urology assessment.
What to expect.
Kidney stones may cause severe side or back pain, painful urination, nausea or blood in the urine. An enlarged prostate may cause a weak stream, urgency, frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder.
Treatment may use laser, shock-wave or endoscopic techniques through natural passages or small incisions. Some cases still need another approach.
Procedures available at Wellmed.
