Doctor Rodriguez's Urology practice specializes in the medical and surgical management of kidney stones. Kidney stones are solid deposits that form in the kidneys and can cause intense pain and discomfort. They are typically made up of calcium, oxalate, and other substances that accumulate in the urine.
Doctor Rodriguez and his team are experts in diagnosing and treating kidney stones, employing state-of-the-art technologies and evidence-based approaches. When patients come to the practice with suspected kidney stones, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted. This may include a detailed medical history review, physical examination, diagnostic tests, etc.
Once the diagnosis is confirmed, Doctor Rodriguez develops a personalized treatment plan based on the size, location, and composition of the kidney stones, as well as the patient's overall health and preferences. The range of treatment options offered at Doctor Rodriguez's Urology practice includes both non-surgical and surgical interventions.
Non-surgical treatments may be recommended for smaller stones that are likely to pass on their own. These treatments focus on pain management, hydration, and lifestyle modifications that can facilitate stone passage. Additionally, medications may be prescribed to help relax the ureter and facilitate stone passage or to prevent the formation of new stones.
In cases where the stones are larger or causing significant pain and obstruction, surgical interventions may be necessary. Doctor Rodriguez's Urology practice offers a range of surgical procedures to remove or break down kidney stones.
Doctor Rodriguez employs advanced techniques and technologies during these surgical interventions to ensure precise and effective stone removal while minimizing patient discomfort and recovery time. Comprehensive pre-and post-operative care is provided to optimize patient outcomes and ensure a smooth recovery.
Beyond the treatment phase, Doctor Rodriguez's Urology practice emphasizes long-term management and prevention of recurrent kidney stones, including dietary and lifestyle modifications, fluid management strategies, and medication regimens tailored to each patient.
