Renal Stone

Renal stones, also known as kidney stones, are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form in the kidneys. They can cause severe pain, nausea, and difficulty urinating when they move through the urinary tract.

Treatment options for renal stones depend on their size, type, and location. Smaller stones often pass on their own, while larger stones may require medical intervention, such as lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, or in severe cases, surgery.

Preventive measures include staying hydrated, reducing sodium intake, and maintaining a balanced diet low in oxalates. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider can also help monitor and manage the risk of kidney stones.
