The kidney stone has irregular shapes, so as the stone moves thru the ureter, it frequently changes positions against the inside ureter walls. This is why pain is experienced in waves.

Is dialysis necessary for kidney stone treatment if kidney stones cannot be surgically removed?

No. Dialysis is not necessary for kidney stone treatment. In most cases, the doctor may either perform lithotripsy, which is using sound waves to make the stone explode/dissolve, or go up the urethra with a small tube to grab the stones. If this is not an option, the doctor will treat the pain involved with the stones with prescription pain killers. Kidney stones are only a serious health risk if they are causing blockage, and in most cases pain is the only real problem involved with them.
