Our Treatment
Comprehensive kidney stone care including laser treatment and minimally invasive surgery at Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, Bangalore.
Kidney stones are a common urological condition that can cause severe pain and urinary discomfort if not treated at the right time. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment help prevent complications such as infection, urinary blockage, and long-term kidney damage. At Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, kidney stone treatment is planned after careful evaluation of stone size, location, symptoms, and individual risk factors.
Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form inside the kidneys when urine becomes concentrated. Minerals such as calcium, oxalate, or uric acid crystallise over time and form stones. These stones may remain in the kidney or move into the urinary tract, causing pain and urinary symptoms.
Treatment depends on the type, size, and position of the stone.
Kidney stones may cause one or more of the following symptoms:
