Living in Tirupati means dealing with hot weather, hard water and a busy lifestyle. These factors can sometimes contribute to dehydration and increase the risk of kidney stones .
Many people suddenly experience sharp pain in the side or back and wonder what to do next. At our clinic, we regularly see patients with kidney stone problems and aim to make diagnosis and treatment as straightforward and comfortable as possible.
Understanding the Size and Position of the Stone
The first step is to understand the size, location and nature of the stone. Depending on the situation, this may involve an ultrasound or another imaging scan.
Once the stone has been assessed, the most suitable treatment can be recommended based on its size, position and the patient's symptoms.
Small Kidney Stones: Helping the Stone Pass Naturally
For smaller stones, treatment may sometimes begin with increased water intake and medicines that can help the stone pass naturally. This approach may be suitable for patients who want to avoid a procedure whenever possible.
Patients from areas such as Renigunta, Chandragiri and nearby locations can also receive guidance about hydration and dietary changes.
Helpful Lifestyle Guidance
Staying hydrated, especially during the hot months, and following appropriate dietary advice can help reduce the risk of certain types of kidney stones.
Laser Kidney Stone Treatment with RIRS
When a stone is larger or becomes stuck, advanced treatment may be recommended. One minimally invasive option is RIRS – Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery.
During this procedure, a thin flexible instrument is passed through the natural urinary passage, meaning there are no large surgical cuts. Laser technology is used to break the stone into smaller pieces.
Recovery and hospital stay can vary depending on the patient's condition and the complexity of the procedure. Your urologist can explain what to expect in your individual case.
PCNL for Larger Kidney Stones
For larger or more complex kidney stones, PCNL – Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy may be recommended.
This is a minimally invasive keyhole approach that provides direct access to the kidney so the stone can be broken into smaller pieces and removed.
Bladder Stone Treatment
Bladder stones can also be treated using minimally invasive techniques. Depending on the size and condition of the stone, specialised instruments may be used to break the stone into smaller fragments for removal.
The appropriate treatment will depend on factors such as the stone size, location and overall health of the patient.
