Kidney Stone Treatment & Management

What Are Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys when the urine becomes concentrated. While smaller stones may pass without medical intervention, larger stones can cause severe pain and complications if not treated properly. Timely diagnosis and expert management are crucial to prevent long-term kidney damage.

Causes and Risk Factors

Several factors can contribute to the formation of kidney stones, including:

• Inadequate fluid intake (dehydration)

• Diets high in sodium, protein, or oxalate

• Obesity or sedentary lifestyle

• Family or personal history of kidney stones

• Medical conditions such as urinary tract infections or digestive diseases

Common Symptoms

Patients with kidney stones may experience:

• Intense pain in the back, side, or lower abdomen

• Blood in urine (hematuria)

• Pain or burning sensation during urination

• Frequent urge to urinate in small amounts

• Nausea, vomiting, or fever (in case of infection)

If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
