Usually, people go through a number of health problems, and kidney stones are the most common of them all. When you experience any type of symptoms, RG Stone Hospital has some viable tests that will indicate the severity of this problem. If it is a minor kidney stone, then we will provide you with some medications that will help with the pain and remove it. A kidney stone treatment is required in the case of a large kidney stone in which we will extract the stone from the body with a surgical procedure.
Kidney stones are composed of salts or minerals that collect in our bodies to make crystals, and in some cases, they get passed out without us noticing. In other cases, it can cause excruciating pain if it gets stuck in the tract. There are several causes of the formation of kidney stones, and some of them are:-
- Obesity
- Dehydration
- Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
- Gastric Bypass Surgery
Small kidney stones usually pass out, but large kidney stones show symptoms. These stones vary in size by millimetres or centimetres. The symptoms for larger stones are:-
- Chills or fever
- Vomiting or nausea problems
- Severe pain in the side of the stomach or the back
- Strong smell
There are various complications related to larger kidney stones, such as whenever there’s blood in your urine or you are having difficulty in passing it out from the body. This pain is so severe that you won’t feel comfortable in any position. If you are experiencing any pain during any fever or vomiting, then it is necessary to see a doctor before it gets worse.
We can conduct some tests to ensure that it is a kidney stone or any damage in the functioning of kidneys. The various tests that we perform are:-
- Imaging tests such as CT scan or X-ray for checking the kidney stones
- Some blood tests to check the functioning of the kidney
- Urine test for any type of infection.
We will analyse all the tests and then provide you with a treatment option according to the type and size of the stones. We have various options for treating kidney stones, such as medication, therapies, and surgeries. Some of the methods are:-
- We will pass some intravenous fluids through your bloodstream, which can pass out the kidney stone in the form of urine.
- Ureteroscopy is a method that will help in removing the kidney stones that are stuck in the bladder or tube that connects the kidney to the bladder.
- For a kidney stone treatment, we have a Tunnel Surgery option, which is preferred when the stones are too large and damaging your kidneys. This method is also suggested at the time of any infection.
- Lithotripsy is a newly started method in which sound waves are passed to break up large stones so that they can easily be extracted from the body.
We know that kidney stones are quite painful, and that’s why through the help of RG Stone Hospital, you can have numerous treatment options.
