Urinary Stones
Urinary stones are hard mineral and salt deposits that occur within the urinary tract. They are also known as kidney stones or renal calculi. These stones range in size from microscopic grains to bigger formations and can cause severe discomfort and suffering. Surya Hospitals understands the difficulties that urinary stones present and provides extensive treatment solutions to assure your maximum health and well-being.
Urinary Stones Causes:
Urinary stones can form as a result of a variety of circumstances, including:
- Dehydration: A lack of fluid consumption might result in concentrated urine, which increases the risk of stone development
- Diet: Certain foods, such as calcium, oxalate, and uric acid, can lead to stone formation
- Family history: A family history of urinary stones increases an individual’s propensity to developing them
- Medical Conditions: Hyperparathyroidism, urinary tract infections, and cystic kidney disease can all increase the probability of stone formation
Common Urinary Stone Symptoms:
The symptoms of urinary stones might vary depending on the size and location of the stone within the urinary tract. Typical symptoms include:
- Intense, Colicky Pain: Severe pain in the back, abdomen, or sides that frequently radiates to the groin
- Hematuria: The presence of blood in the urine, which can be pink, red, or brown in colour
- A heightened need to urinate more frequently than usual
- Urine that is cloudy or has an unpleasant odour
- Some people feel nausea and vomiting as a result of the pain produced by urinary stones
Treatment of Stones:
Our urology department at Surya Hospitals provides innovative and personalized treatment solutions for urinary stones, suited to each patient’s specific needs. Among our services are:
- Diagnostic Evaluation: To precisely identify the existence, size, and location of urinary stones, our skilled urologists use cutting-edge diagnostic equipment such as ultrasound, X-ray, and CT scan
- Medical Management: Our urologists may recommend increased fluid intake, pain management, and drugs to facilitate stone transit and decrease symptoms for tiny stones that are likely to pass naturally
- Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL): ESWL is a non-invasive therapy that employs shock waves to shatter kidney stones into tiny fragments, allowing them to flow naturally through urine
- Ureteroscopy is used when stones are found in the ureter or bladder. Our urologists may perform ureteroscopy closer to the bladder. This minimally invasive method involves visualizing and removing the stones through a tiny tube equipped with a camera
- Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL): PCNL may be recommended for larger or more difficult stones. This technique entails making a small incision in the back to access and remove kidney stones
- Laser Lithotripsy: Laser lithotripsy is a minimally invasive therapy that employs laser radiation to break down stones into smaller pieces, making them easier to remove or pass naturally
