Testimonial by Toton Roy

Kidney stones are hard deposits that form in the kidneys and can cause severe pain when they pass through the urinary tract. They are typically made of mineral and salt deposits that accumulate over time. Common causes include dehydration, certain medical conditions, and dietary factors such as high intake of oxalate-rich foods or salt. Symptoms may include intense pain in the back, side, or lower abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and blood in the urine. Diagnosis often involves imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, or ultrasounds, which can detect the presence and size of kidney stones. Treatment for kidney stones typically focuses on relieving symptoms and facilitating the passage of the stones through the urinary tract. This may involve pain management with over-the-counter or prescription medications to alleviate discomfort. Additionally, increasing fluid intake can help flush out the stones and prevent dehydration. For larger stones or those causing severe symptoms, medical procedures such as lithotripsy (shock wave therapy), ureteroscopy, or surgery may be necessary to break up or remove the stones. It is essential for individuals experiencing symptoms of kidney stones to seek medical attention promptly for proper diagnosis and treatment. Mr. Toton Roy from West Bengal successfully received treatment for Kidney Stones at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Gutta Srinivas, Consultant Urologist & Transplant Surgeon, Clinical Director-Department of Urology.
