My name is Skye and I'm male, and I personally love my name (No, I'm not gay). I've never found a straight-up definition of this name, but I have been given multiple separate answers, and people have told me it means: eternal, winged, protected, sheltering, and enduring. So for me really, it's a survivor's name.
Diagnosis of kidney stones is best accomplished using an ultrasound, intravenous pyleography (IVP), or a CT scan. Most kidney stones will pass through the ureter to the bladder on their own with time. Treatment includes pain-control medications and, in some cases, medications to facilitate the passage of urine.
Your doctor may recommend medicines that will help limit the recurrence of kidney stones. You may also take medicine such as calcium channel blockers or alpha-adrenergic blockers to help your kidney stones pass through your body. For small stones, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever. If you have uric acid stones, your doctor may prescribe medicines like allopurinol to help melt the stones.
