Kidney Stone Treatment

Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form in the kidneys and can cause severe pain, especially when they travel through the urinary tract. Dr. AK Bhalla explains that kidney stones can vary in size and may require different treatments, ranging from conservative management, like increased fluid intake, to medical procedures such as shockwave lithotripsy or surgical removal for larger stones.

Dr. AK Bhalla advises patients to make lifestyle changes to prevent kidney stones, including staying well-hydrated, reducing salt intake, and avoiding foods high in oxalates. In cases of recurrent kidney stones, he stresses the importance of monitoring and treating underlying conditions like hypercalciuria or gout. With the right treatment and prevention strategies, kidney stones can be managed effectively.
