Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. They can cause severe pain, blood in urine, and urinary difficulties. Early treatment is important to prevent complications such as infection or kidney damage.
At Medisure Surgery Care, we provide advanced, safe, and minimally invasive kidney stone treatments for quick and lasting relief.
What Are Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones are solid stones formed from minerals like calcium, oxalate, and uric acid. They can vary in size from tiny grains to large stones that may block urine flow.
Kidney stones may remain silent or cause sudden pain known as renal colic, often requiring urgent care.
Symptoms of Kidney Stones
- Severe pain in the back, side, or lower abdomen.
- Pain or burning sensation during urination.
- Blood in urine (appearing pink, red, or brown).
- Frequent urge to urinate or urinating in small amounts.
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Fever and chills (if an infection occurs).
Causes of Kidney Stones
- Dehydration: Not drinking enough water is a leading cause.
- Diet: High salt, sugar, or protein intake.
- Obesity: Higher BMI is linked to increased stone risk.
- Family History: Increased likelihood if a relative has had stones.
- Medical Conditions: Gout, UTIs, or inflammatory bowel disease.
- Certain medications or supplements.
How Are Kidney Stones Diagnosed?
Early detection helps prevent painful episodes and complications. Diagnosis typically includes:
- Urine tests: To detect crystals, blood, or signs of infection.
- Blood tests: To check kidney function and mineral levels.
- Ultrasound or CT scan: To locate the exact position and size of the stones.
Treatment Options for Kidney Stones
Non-Surgical Management
- Small stones may pass naturally with increased fluid intake.
- Medications to relax the ureter and manage pain.
- Dietary adjustments to prevent future stone formation.
Surgical Treatment
When stones are too large to pass or cause complications, advanced procedures are used:
- ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy): A non-invasive method using sound waves to break stones into tiny pieces.
- Ureteroscopy: Removal or laser breaking of stones using a small scope through the urinary tract.
- PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy): For large or complex stones, removed through a tiny incision in the back.
- Laparoscopic stone removal: Minimally invasive and highly effective for specific cases.
Recovery After Kidney Stone Treatment
- Mild discomfort or bruising may occur depending on the procedure.
- Most patients return to normal activities within a few days to weeks.
- High fluid intake is highly recommended to flush out fragments.
- Follow-up tests ensure all stones are removed and kidney function is healthy.
