Kidney stones are deposits of calcium and other minerals in the kidney. These deposits increase in size over a period of time to form a stone. They can be of different sizes and shapes. Stones range from as small as 3.0 mm to as large as 30.0 mm. They can form in men, women and children. Kidney Stones occur in about 15-20 % of the general population. They can occur at any age but most commonly occur between the ages of 20 and 40. Stone formers have about 50% potential risk of recurrence.

How are kidney stones treated?
Small Stones less than 4 mm may pass out spontaneously. Your doctor will prescribe some medications to facilitate the spontaneous expulsion, and monitor you closely at regular intervals. For larger stones, there are various treatment options available. The simplest and the most safest option is ESWL (Extra corporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy). ESWL is a simple day care non surgical procedure where a large stone is broken into small fragments which then pass out with the help of medications. The surgical options include PCNL and RIRS. These procedures are minimally invasive which require anesthesia. Your doctor will assess and give you the best treatment options based on the stone size, location, and hardness of the stone.
