What Are Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones are hard, crystalline mineral deposits that form inside your kidneys when urine becomes concentrated. They can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a pebble, and may cause intense pain when passing through the urinary tract.

✔️ Symptoms of Kidney Stones

✔️ Sudden, sharp pain in the back, side, or lower abdomen
✔️ Pain during urination
✔️ Pink, red, or brown urine (blood in urine)
✔️ Nausea or vomiting
✔️ Frequent urge to urinate
✔️ Fever and chills (if infection is present)

✔️ Common Causes & Risk Factors

✔️ Dehydration or low fluid intake
✔️ Diet high in salt, sugar, or animal protein
✔️ Family or personal history of kidney stones
✔️ Obesity or digestive diseases
✔️ Certain supplements or medications
✔️ Urinary tract infections

🧪 How We Diagnose Kidney Stones

✔️ Urine and blood tests to detect stone-forming substances
✔️ Ultrasound or CT scan to locate the stone and measure its size
✔️ X-rays (for calcium-based stones)
✔️ Stone analysis (if passed) to determine type and cause

🌟 Treatment Options Based on Stone Size & Location

✔️ Small Stones (≤5 mm)

✔️ Hydration therapy – drinking 2–3 liters of water per day
✔️ Pain relievers (NSAIDs)
✔️ Alpha-blockers to relax ureter muscles and help stone pass
✔️ Monitoring until stone is passed naturally

✔️ Medium to Large Stones (>5 mm) or Stuck Stones

🏥 Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)

✔️ Non-invasive procedure using sound waves to break stones into smaller pieces
✔️ Outpatient, minimal recovery time

🏥 Ureteroscopy

✔️ Thin scope inserted via urethra to remove or break stones
✔️ Laser used for fragmentation
✔️ Often used for mid/lower urinary tract stones

🏥 Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)

✔️ Surgical removal for large or complex stones
✔️ Performed under general anesthesia
✔️ Small incision in the back to access the kidney directly

✔️ Prevention Tips After Treatment

✔️ Drink plenty of water (2.5–3 liters/day)
✔️ Reduce salt, sugar, and animal protein in diet
✔️ Avoid excessive intake of oxalate-rich foods (spinach, nuts, tea)
✔️ Take prescribed medications if you have recurrent stones
✔️ Regular check-ups and urine tests
