What Are Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. They can vary in size—from a grain of sand to a golf ball—and may block the urinary tract, causing severe pain and potential kidney damage. Common types include calcium oxalate, uric acid, struvite, and cystine stones.
While small stones may pass naturally, larger or recurrent stones often require medical intervention.
Symptoms of Kidney Stones
You may have kidney stones if you experience:
- Sudden, sharp pain in the back, side, or lower abdomen
- Pain during urination
- Blood in urine (hematuria)
- Nausea or vomiting
- Frequent urge to urinate
- Fever and chills (if infection is present)
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek prompt evaluation to avoid complications.
Diagnosis
Dr. Gopichand uses advanced diagnostic tools to determine the size, type, and location of the kidney stone:
- Ultrasound – A non-invasive scan to detect stones in the kidney or bladder.
- CT Scan – High-resolution imaging to locate even the smallest stones.
- Urine and Blood Tests – To check for infection or metabolic imbalances.
- Stone Analysis – If a stone is passed, it can be analyzed to prevent recurrence.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the size, location, and type of stone, as well as the severity of symptoms. Dr. Gopichand offers a full range of minimally invasive and non-surgical options. After treatment, Dr. Gopichand provides personalized dietary and lifestyle guidance to reduce the risk of future stone formation.
PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy)
Recommended for large or complex kidney stones, this procedure involves a small incision in the back to remove stones directly from the kidney.
Ureteroscopy
A thin scope is passed through the urethra and bladder to reach and remove stones in the ureter or kidney. Often combined with laser lithotripsy.
Laser Lithotripsy
A highly effective, non-invasive procedure that uses laser energy to break stones into tiny fragments, which are then passed naturally through urine.
Medical Expulsion Therapy
For small stones, medications may be prescribed to relax the ureter and help the stone pass naturally.
