Did you know certain medications can increase your risk of kidney stones? Drugs like topiramate (often used for migraines or seizures) and some diuretics can change how your body processes minerals—raising your chance of stone formation.

If you’re on these medications and have a history of kidney stones, talk to your doctor. There may be ways to lower your risk while still getting the treatment you need.

What is a metabolic workup? This test can help solve the mystery behind recurring kidney stones. It starts with blood work, a stone analysis, and a special at-home urine collection kit that helps us understand how your lifestyle and diet may be contributing to stone formation. With this insight, we can create a personalized plan to help prevent stones from coming back.

How long after being diagnosed with a kidney stone do you need surgery? Typically, it’s about 3–4 weeks—but it really depends on the size, location, symptoms, and urgency of your case.

Every situation is different, so be sure to talk to your doctor about the best timeline for you.

Will Flomax help pass a kidney stone?

Some studies say yes—Flomax may help relax the ureter, making it easier for certain stones (especially those lower in the urinary tract) to pass.

It’s not a guarantee, but it has helped some patients. Always talk to your doctor to see if it’s right for you.

Can kidney stones pass on their own? It all depends on the size of the stone.

Smaller stones are much more likely to pass naturally, without the need for surgery or advanced intervention. At UCI Kidney Stone Center, our goal is always to use the least invasive approach necessary to get you healthy, pain-free, and stone-free.

Every case is unique, and we’re here to guide you through the best options for your health.

The Best Kidney Stone Care Imagineable

Together, our team in Orange County, CA represents more experience in treating individuals suffering from kidney stones than any other institution on the West Coast.

The UCI Kidney Stone Center is led by kidney stone specialists Dr. Jaime Landman and Dr. Ralph V. Clayman, world renown pioneers in the development of minimally invasive surgery, with over 9 decades of combined experience managing kidney stones. The specially trained team at our kidney stone center also includes Drs. Roshan M. Patel and Ramy F. Yaacoub. We strive to offer treatment by a kidney stone doctor 48-72 hours after diagnosis with access to a dedicated kidney stone surgical suite 5 days per week.

Our treatments include:


  • Groundbreaking, shockwave lithotripsy technology with the most powerful, up-to-date Dornier unit in the country that combines both radiation and ultrasound imaging for accurate stone targeting.
