Hello Mr Shyam,

Treatment for kidney stones typically depends on the stone's size, location, and composition. Common options include:

  1. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): Non-invasive treatment using shock waves to break down stones.
  2. Ureteroscopy (URS) is a minimally invasive procedure in which a thin tube with a camera is used to remove stones.
  3. Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL): Invasive surgery to remove larger stones through a small incision in the back.
  4. Laser Lithotripsy: Uses laser energy to break stones into smaller pieces for easier removal.
  5. Medications are prescribed to manage pain and prevent future stone formation.
