Practicing at the Urology Group of Western New England in Springfield, Massachusetts, Dr. Donald Sonn is a physician who specializing in urology, impotence, prostheses and stone diseases. There is a lot of information about kidney stones, and Sonn is a physician who helps people with the painful condition.
Stone disease is a very common condition that affects more than five percent of all adults in the United States. Almost two million people annually go to their doctor seeking treatment; included in this number are the people who rush to the emergency room every room looking for relief from their painful condition.
One of the most common non-cancerous disorders of the urinary tract, the number of people suffering from kidney stones is rising year after year. Dr. Donald Sonn helps his patients with this very painful condition.
Dr. Donald Sonn notes that men are more likely to develop a kidney stone more than women. Those of the white ethnicity are more likely to develop the stone disease more than any other race or ethnicity.
Though it is not completely known what causes a kidney stone to occur, obesity and stress are often considered related causes of the stone disease. Researchers have found evidence of kidney stone in mummified Egyptians remains that are more than seven thousand years old. This shows that even people who were experiencing the stress of their life, and statistically during the middle of their life when commitments are at their highest, even thousands of years ago could not escape the ever painful stone disease.
