Best Kidney Stone Hospitals in Chandigarh

Kidney stones can be of many types based on their composition. Some of them are calcium stones, struvite stones, uric acid stones, cystine stones etc. 80% of the stones are composed of calcium.

There is a delicate balance maintained in the urine in our body. When this balance of minerals is disturbed, kidney stones are formed. Some of the reasons for the imbalance are:

• Lack of enough fluid in the body

• Hormonal imbalance

• Intake of a diet which is high in oxalate, sodium and protein

• Family history

When the stone is stationary in the kidney, it does not cause any pain. But, when it moves from the kidney into the ureter, it causes symptoms like:

• Extreme pain in the back and sides

• Pain while passing urine

• Nausea and vomiting

• Red or brown urine

Very small sized stone less than ¼ inch usually can pass through the urinary tract.

The cost of the surgery varies based on the severity or complexity of the disease, and the procedure chosen. Please refer to the procedure page for more details on Ayu Health packages.

Drinking 2-3 litres of water and other fluids can prevent all types of stones.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or opioids are needed to relieve the pain. Before taking any medication, you should consult with a doctor.
