Vasavi Hospital: Providing Effective Treatment for Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are a common medical condition that can cause significant pain and discomfort. At Vasavi Hospital, we understand the impact that kidney stones can have on our patients' lives, which is why we provide expert care and treatment to help alleviate their symptoms and promote kidney health.

What are Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones are small, hard deposits that form in the kidneys. They are made up of minerals and other substances that can build up in the urine, and can vary in size and shape. Some people may have no symptoms, while others may experience severe pain, nausea, and difficulty passing urine.

Risk Factors for Kidney Stones

Several factors can increase a person's risk of developing kidney stones, including:

1. Dehydration

2. Family history of kidney stones

3. Diet high in salt or animal protein

4. Obesity

5. Certain medical conditions, such as gout or inflammatory bowel disease

Diagnosis and Treatment

At Vasavi Hospital, we use the latest technology and techniques to diagnose and treat kidney stones. Our team of experts begins with a thorough physical examination and medical history review. We also perform imaging tests, such as X-rays and CT scans, to determine the location, size, and number of kidney stones.

Treatment options may include medications to help alleviate pain and prevent further stone formation. For larger stones, minimally invasive procedures such as extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL), ureteroscopy, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) may be recommended to break up or remove the stones.

Prevention and Education

At Vasavi Hospital, we believe that prevention and education are key to promoting kidney health and preventing the formation of kidney stones. Our team of experts works with patients to develop personalized prevention plans, which may include changes in diet and lifestyle, and increasing fluid intake.

We also provide education and resources to help patients understand the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for kidney stones. By working together, we can help our patients achieve optimal kidney health and prevent future kidney stones.
