Our Treatment
Comprehensive kidney stone care including laser treatment and minimally invasive surgery at Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, Bangalore.
Kidney stones are a common urological condition that can cause severe pain and urinary discomfort when not treated at the right time. At Genesiss Multi-Speciality Hospital, kidney stone treatment is planned after careful evaluation of stone size, location, symptoms, and the risk of complications. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment help prevent infection, obstruction, and long-term kidney damage.
Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form inside the kidneys when urine becomes concentrated. Minerals such as calcium, oxalate, or uric acid can crystallize and gradually form stones. These stones may remain in the kidney or move into the urinary tract, leading to pain and urinary symptoms.
Treatment depends on the type, size, and position of the stone.
Kidney stones may cause one or more of the following symptoms:
Severe pain in the side, back, or lower abdomen
Pain that spreads towards the groin
Burning sensation during urination
Blood in urine
Frequent urge to urinate
Nausea or vomiting
Fever or chills when infection is present
Some small stones may not cause symptoms initially and are detected during medical evaluation for other conditions.
Kidney stones should not be ignored, even if pain reduces temporarily. Untreated stones can lead to:
Blockage of urine flow
Recurrent urinary infections
Worsening kidney function
Severe pain episodes
Repeated stone formation
Timely treatment helps reduce complications and improves long-term kidney health.
Kidney stones can develop due to several factors, including:
Low water intake
High salt or protein intake
Recurrent urinary tract infections
Family history of kidney stones
Metabolic disorders affecting mineral balance
Certain medications or supplements
Men between 30 and 60 years of age are commonly affected, though kidney stones can occur at any age.
Accurate diagnosis helps determine the most suitable treatment. Evaluation may include:
Urine tests to check for blood or infection
Blood tests to assess kidney function
Ultrasound examination
CT scan to determine stone size and exact location
These investigations help doctors decide whether medical management or a procedure is required.
Treatment depends on stone size, location, symptoms, and overall health.
Small stones that are likely to pass on their own may be managed with:
Increased fluid intake
Pain-relieving medicines
Medicines that help relax the urinary tract
Regular monitoring under medical supervision
When kidney stones do not pass naturally or cause repeated pain, blockage, or infection, procedural treatment may be advised. The choice of procedure depends on stone size, location, and patient condition.
| Treatment | Where the Stone Is Located | How the Procedure Is Done | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESWL | Kidney | Shock waves are used externally to break the stone into smaller fragments, which pass naturally through urine over time | Small to medium stones in suitable kidney locations |
| RIRS | Kidney | A flexible scope is passed through the urinary tract to the kidney, and laser energy breaks the stone into fine pieces | Stones that are difficult to treat with shock waves |
| PCNL | Kidney | The stone is removed through a small controlled entry into the kidney using imaging guidance | Large or complex kidney stones |
| URSL | Ureter | A scope is passed through the urinary tract to reach and break or remove the stone using laser technology | Stones lodged in the ureter |
The most appropriate procedure is selected after reviewing scan findings, stone characteristics, and the patient’s overall health condition.
Recovery depends on the treatment method used.
Most minimally invasive procedures allow early discharge
Pain is usually manageable with medicines
Adequate hydration is advised
Follow-up visits help confirm complete stone clearance
Doctors also provide guidance on diet and lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of recurrence.
You should seek medical attention if you experience:
Severe or persistent pain
Blood in urine
Fever with urinary symptoms
Difficulty passing urine
Recurrent kidney stone episodes
Early consultation helps prevent emergency complications.
