Kidney stones – Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

Kidney stones – Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

Kidney stones are one of the most common urological problems affecting all age groups of people. The stones can be present anywhere between the kidney and the urethra. If it causes a blockage in the urological passage, the symptoms will start to show.

Causes ✅ Not enough intake of water, especially during the summer season

Symptoms ✅ Pain (excruciating pain in some people) ✅ Blood in urine ✅ Fever ✅ Problems with kidney function

Diagnosis Diagnosis of kidney stones involves blood tests, urine tests, ultrasound or X-rays. Depending on the size of the stones, the kidney doctors will suggest a suitable treatment method.

Treatment If the kidney stones are within 4-5 mm, then it can be treated using medications. But if the kidney stones are large then the patient might require surgical treatment. Most of the kidney stones can be removed using minimally invasive surgical methods.

The advantages of minimally invasive surgeries include lesser recovery time and faster return to normal life.

Prevention ✅ Drink a lot of water ✅ Follow the dietary advice given by the nephrology doctors ✅ Get an ultrasound done once in six months or when you experience stomach pain
