TEAM SLG HOSPITALS BY ADYP HEALTHCARE

Have you ever felt a sudden sharp pain in your lower back that just wouldn’t go away?
Or experienced a burning sensation while passing urine?

Many people ignore these signs, assuming it’s just dehydration or acidity. But sometimes, the real reason could be kidney stones.

The good news is that kidney stones treatment today is far more advanced than before. With modern diagnostics, minimally invasive procedures, and lifestyle guidance, most patients can recover quickly and prevent future stones.

In this blog, let’s understand the common symptoms of kidney stones, how doctors treat them, and how to prevent kidney stones in the future.

“I Thought It Was Just Back Pain …”

“I first felt the pain while driving home from work,” says Mr. Arvind Kumar, 41, from Bachupally, Hyedrabad.

“At first, I thought it was just back strain from sitting too long. But the pain kept increasing. By night, it became so severe that I couldn’t sit or lie down comfortably.”

His family brought him to SLG Hospitals by ADYP Healthcare.

After a quick evaluation and imaging tests, doctors found a kidney stone blocking part of the urinary tract. The care team explained the treatment options and began the appropriate management based on the size and location of the stone.

“With treatment and guidance from the doctors, the pain gradually reduced and the stone was managed safely,” he says.

Today, Mr. Arvind has also made a few lifestyle changes to prevent stones from returning.

Like Mr. Arvind, many people delay medical help until the pain becomes unbearable. But early consultation can make kidney stones treatment much simpler and faster.

When Your Body Is Trying to Tell You Something

Kidney stones usually don’t appear overnight. Your body often gives small warning signs first.

Have you noticed any of these –

• Sharp pain in the lower back or side of the abdomen
• Pain that comes in waves and suddenly becomes intense
• Burning sensation while passing urine
• Frequent urge to urinate
• Blood in urine or cloudy urine
• Nausea or vomiting along with severe pain

What Helps Kidney Stones Pass Faster?

Now that’s a very common question people ask us!

For smaller stones, doctors may recommend supportive care so the stone can pass naturally.

This may include:

• Drinking plenty of water to flush the urinary system
• Pain management medications to control discomfort
• Medications that relax the urinary tract, helping the stone move out
• Light physical activity, which may help movement of small stones

However, not all stones pass on their own. The size, location, and type of stone matter.

Can Kidney Stones Go Away on Their Own?

The previous topic brings us to another common question: “If I don’t go to a hospital, will kidney stones go away?”

The short answer is – sometimes, yes.

We can’t emphasize this point more – small stones (usually less than 4–5 mm) may pass naturally with hydration and medication. But larger stones may require medical procedures to remove or break them.

That’s why proper diagnosis is important. Our renowned nephrologists can determine the safest and most effective kidney stones treatment for each patient.

How Do Doctors Treat Kidney Stones?

SLG Hospitals by ADYP Healthcare offers several effective options for treating kidney stones under the expertise of leading nephrologists.

Depending on the size and location of the stone, doctors may recommend:

• Shock wave therapy (ESWL) to break stones into smaller pieces
• Endoscopic procedures where doctors remove stones through tiny instruments
• Laser lithotripsy, a minimally invasive method to break stones

These advanced techniques help many patients recover faster with minimal discomfort.

How to Prevent Kidney Stones

Simple changes in daily routine can significantly reduce the chances of stone formation.

Here are a few simple tips that go a long way –

• Drink enough water throughout the day
• Limit excess salt in your diet
• Reduce very high intake of processed or packaged foods
• Maintain a balanced diet with fruits and vegetables
• Avoid long periods of dehydration, especially in hot climates
