Kidney Stones:

Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys and can vary in size from small grains to larger stones. They can cause severe pain as they pass through the urinary tract. Common types of kidney stones include calcium stones, uric acid stones, struvite stones, and cystine stones.

FAQ's

Symptoms include intense pain in the back, side, abdomen, or groin, pain during urination, blood in urine, nausea, and vomiting. Small stones may pass out of the body unnoticed, while larger stones can cause significant pain and complications.

Kidney stones form when minerals and salts in urine crystallize and stick together to form solid masses. Factors contributing to their formation include dehydration, dietary factors (such as high intake of salt or oxalate-rich foods), certain medical conditions, and family history.

Diagnosis involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, urine tests, blood tests, and imaging studies (such as CT scan, ultrasound, or X-ray) to determine the size, location, and type of kidney stone.

Treatment options depend on the size and location of the kidney stone. Small stones may pass naturally with increased fluid intake and pain management. Other treatments include medications to help pass the stone, shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) to break up stones, minimally invasive procedures like ureteroscopy, and surgical removal in certain cases.
