Suggest Treatment For Pelvic Phlebolith With Kidney Stones

I had a ct scan of abdominal and pelvic area cause I had pain on lower right side of abdomen. Thought it might have been appenditcitis. Dr. Said ct scan was fine but it showed I have pelvic phleboliths. I also have several kidney stones too. What do I do?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

For kidney stones.
It is important to know the number and size of the kidney stones. Any obstruction to the passage of urine by the kidney stones is also to be known. Treatment depends on the number, size and and any obstruction that is happening. Consulting the urologist with your report once will help in knowing which treatment is most suitable for you. In general, people with kidney stones are asked to drink lots of water and visit wash rooms regularly. Please reduce foods containing oxalates like non veg, vegetables like spinach, tomato, cauliflower, brinjals, nuts and almonds. Avoid holding urine for long intervals.

For phleboliths
Nothing needs to be done for phleboliths. they are areas of calcium deposition within veins. This will not cause any additional health risks and are commonly seen in the elderly. No treatment is required. Please do not worry.
