  1. KidneyStoneRemovalTreatmentMadurai:Whento SeeaUrologySpecialist KidneyStoneRemovalTreatmentMadurai:WhatYouShould Know Kidney stones — hard mineral deposits forming in the urinary tract — can cause excruciating pain and serious complications. When small stones don’t pass on their own or block urine flow, kidneystoneremovaltreatment Madurai becomes essential. At this stage, a urology specialist evaluates the stone’s size, location, and composition before recommending the safest, most effective procedure. WhoNeedsKidneyStoneRemovalTreatment? Anyone whose stone is too large to pass naturally (typically >5 mm), causing urinary obstruction, kidney swelling, or recurring urinary tract infections should seek intervention . Options include:

  2. ● ExtracorporealShockWaveLithotripsy(ESWL): non-invasive ultrasound to fragment stones, ideal for stones under ~20 mm in kidney/upper ureter. ● UreteroscopywithLaserLithotripsy: scopes through the urethra/bladder into ureter to break and extract stones, often outpatient. ● PercutaneousNephrolithotomy(PCNL): minimally invasive surgery for large stones (>2 cm), using a small flank incision and nephroscope. WhatAretheSymptoms? Common signs of kidney stones include: ● Severe, cramping flank pain that radiates to the lower abdomen or groin. ● Pain during urination, frequent urge, or low urine output. ● Blood in urine (pink, red, or brown), cloudy or foul-smelling urine. ● Nausea, vomiting, and occasional fever/chills if infection’s present. If symptoms are severe (unbearable pain, vomiting, fever, blood in urine, inability to urinate), immediate medical attention is warranted . WhoNeedstoVisitaUrologist? You should consult a urology specialist when: 1.Stones don’t pass within a few weeks or are larger than 5 mm.
