KIDNEY STONE TREATMENT
Kidney stones are solid deposits that can develop inside the kidneys due to the accumulation of minerals and salts in the urine. Depending on their size and location, stones may cause severe pain, blood in the urine, nausea, vomiting or difficulty while passing urine.
Dr. Ankush Sharma provides evaluation and treatment guidance for patients experiencing symptoms related to kidney and urinary stones. The first step involves understanding the patient's symptoms, medical history and previous stone episodes. Investigations may be advised when required to identify the location, size and characteristics of the stone.
Small stones may sometimes pass naturally with appropriate medical management and observation. However, larger stones or stones causing obstruction, persistent pain, infection or other complications may require a procedure.
Treatment planning depends on several factors, including:
- Stone size
- Stone location
- Severity of symptoms
- Urinary obstruction
- Presence of infection
- Previous history of stones
- Overall health of the patient
Depending on the individual case, suitable treatment options may be discussed, including medical management or minimally invasive stone removal procedures.

- Severe pain in the back or side
- Pain radiating towards the lower abdomen or groin
- Blood in the urine

Early evaluation can help identify the cause of symptoms and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
