Kidney stones are hard deposits that form inside the kidneys when certain minerals and salts become concentrated in the urine. They can remain in the kidney without causing symptoms or move into the urinary tract, resulting in severe pain and urinary discomfort. Dr. Adinarayana Balagolla provides comprehensive kidney stone treatment in Hyderabad, with treatment plans based on the stone’s size, location, symptoms and overall patient health.
Kidney stones can vary considerably in size and may occur in one or both kidneys. Some small stones may pass naturally, while larger or obstructing stones may require medical or minimally invasive intervention.
Common symptoms include:
Persistent or severe symptoms require timely evaluation by a urologist to determine the cause and prevent complications.
An accurate diagnosis is important before deciding on kidney stone treatment. Evaluation may include a detailed medical history, physical examination, urine tests, blood investigations and appropriate imaging. These assessments help determine the stone’s size, number, location and possible effect on urinary drainage.
The treatment approach is then individualized according to the patient’s condition.
Not every kidney stone requires surgery. Smaller stones may sometimes be managed with observation, adequate fluid intake and prescribed medicines to support natural passage when clinically appropriate.
For stones that are larger, persistent, obstructing or causing significant symptoms, minimally invasive kidney stone procedures may be recommended. The choice of procedure depends on several factors, including stone characteristics and the patient’s overall health.
Dr. Adinarayana has specialized expertise in Endourology and minimally invasive urological surgery, enabling appropriate surgical management for patients who require intervention.
Treatment does not end when a stone is removed. Understanding why stones developed can help reduce the risk of recurrence. Depending on the individual case, patients may receive guidance regarding hydration, dietary habits, metabolic evaluation and follow-up.
