The lump can be as small as a tiny pebble or it can be much bigger. It is made out of the waste products in your urine. A kidney stone may stay in your kidney, or it may travel down the urinary tract (the urinary tract includes the ureters, bladder and the urethra). If the stone is big enough, it can get stuck in your kidney or urinary tract. This can be very painful. How are kidney stones treated? If the stone is small enough, you might be able to pass it in your urine. Your doctor can give you medication to help with the pain. A urologist (urinary tract surgical specialist) can put a very thin instrument through your urethra and into your bladder and ureters to find the stone. He or she can then pull it out or break it into smaller pieces. If a doctor does this, you will be given medicine to numb the area first. Surgery is also an option and is sometimes the only way to get rid of a kidney stone. ©
