  the Urology Group of Western New England in
  Springfield, Massachusetts, where he specializes
  in impotence, prostheses, and stone disease.

• As he knows better than most, stone disease is a
  common condition that affects more than five
  percent of all adults in the United States.
  Nearly two million people visit their doctors or
  go to an emergency room every year seeking
  treatment for this painful condition, which is
  one of the most common non-cancerous disorders of
  the urinary tract. The number of people suffering
  with kidney stones has been rising almost every
  year.

• Dr. Donald Sonn says that men are more likely to
  develop a kidney stone than are women, and white
  people are more likely to develop one than are
  African Americans, or those of other race or
  ethnic group. Obesity may be a factor in the
  chances of someone developing a kidney stone, but
  that is not known for certain.

• There is nothing new about kidney stones.
  Researchers have found evidence of kidney stones
  in mummified Egyptian remains more than seven
  thousand years old. Dr. Donald Sonn says that
  they most often develop in people in mid-life, at
  a time when work and family commitments are at
  their highest.
• In recent years, treatment for kidney stones has
  included minimally invasive surgery techniques
  that have been very effective. Dr. Donald Sonn,
  who has been trained in the da Vinci System and
  in GreenLight Laser, says that these newer
  technologies help physicians to manage kidney
  stones. Other treatment options include
  medications and diet.
