Kidney stones are small, hard deposits that form in your kidneys and can cause severe pain when passing through the urinary tract.
A kidney stone is a solid mass made up of crystals, usually formed from minerals and salts that clump together in the kidneys. These stones can affect any part of the urinary tract, from the kidneys to the bladder. Most kidney stones form when the urine becomes too concentrated, allowing the minerals to crystallize and stick together.
There are different types of kidney stones, with calcium stones being the most common. In India, around 12% of the population is affected by kidney stones at some point in their life, with men being more prone than women.
Staying hydrated is the most important step in preventing kidney stones. Aim for at least 3 litres of water a day, especially in hot climates or during physical activity.
Reduce your intake of foods high in oxalates (like spinach, nuts, and chocolate), and limit salt and animal protein.
At TAH Global Healthcare, we take every precaution to minimise these risks by employing the latest surgical techniques and providing personalised care for each patient.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, lifestyle, diet, and any family history of kidney stones.
The doctor will check for tenderness in your abdomen or sides, as well as signs of infection.
These tests help identify substances in your urine that might contribute to stone formation, as well as detect infections.
Blood tests can show high levels of certain minerals, like calcium or uric acid, which may be causing kidney stones.
X-rays, ultrasounds, or CT scans may be used to visualize the size and location of the kidney stones. A CT scan, in particular, provides detailed images and is considered the most accurate method for detecting kidney stones.
After treatment, it is important to follow your doctor’s advice to ensure full recovery and prevent future stones. Most patients are able to return to normal activities within a few days to weeks, depending on the type of treatment received.
Regular follow-up appointments, a healthy lifestyle, and staying hydrated are key to preventing the recurrence of kidney stones.
