All About Kidney Stones
Specialist Urology Clinic for
Kidney Stone Management
Characterised by severe pain during urination or in the lower back/abdomen/side, kidney stones are a common condition. In fact, its prevalence has gone up in recent years as a result of modern dietary changes. They often cause acute pain and require immediate medical intervention.
Led by experienced urologist Dr Michael Wong, our clinic specializes in effective kidney stone treatment so that you can regain a healthy and pain-free life.
What are Kidney Stones? Do I Have Them?
Kidney stones are hard crystals made from minerals found in urine that have formed into small stones. They vary widely in size—from being small enough to be passed during urination with little issue, to being as large as a golf ball!
Signs and symptoms that you may have kidney stones:
- Pain or burning while urinating
- Pain in the lower back, lower abdomen and side
- Frequent urination with dark / cloudy / bloody urine
- Nausea and vomiting
- Fever and chills
Pain occurs when the stones travel through your urinary tract, or worse, obstruct the flow of urine.
to prevent complications and hasten relief.

Our Proven 3-Step Approach to Manage Kidney Stones
Diagnosing Kidney Stones
If kidney stones are suspected, blood tests, urine tests and imaging tests will help your urologist identify important details about the causes, severity, location, composition and risk factors of your case of kidney stones.
Getting the Right Treatment
This depends on the size, location and composition of the stones. Apart from passing them out naturally, non-invasive laser and shockwave therapy may be used, or minimally invasive surgery in cases of very large stones.
Preventing Recurrence
While not all kidney stones can be prevented, one can certainly reduce their risk of recurrence to varying extents. With detailed checks, close monitoring and a customised dietary plan, this may be possible.
