Kidney stone treatment in Begusarai

Common symptoms

• Sharp pain in the side, back or lower stomach that comes in waves
• Burning or pain when passing urine
• Blood in the urine
• Passing urine often, or in small amounts

• Fever, in some cases

Tests

• Ultrasound (USG)

Treatment

Small stones may pass with medicines and plenty of water. Larger stones can be removed through the urinary passage with a telescope: cystoscopy for the bladder, ureteroscopy (URS) for the ureter, and lithotripsy, which breaks the stone into small pieces. These procedures need no cut on the stomach.

Lowering the chance of new stones

• Drink 2.5 to 3 litres of water a day, unless your doctor advises otherwise
• Eat less salt and processed food
• Cut down on junk food and cold drinks
• Stay active and keep a healthy weight

What to expect

Your surgeon will choose the procedure based on the size and position of the stone, and will explain the hospital stay and recovery for your case.
