When Kidney Stones Turn Everyday Pain Into an Emergency
If you’ve ever felt a sudden, sharp pain radiating from your lower back to the abdomen, you know how frightening kidney stones can be.
In Bangalore’s urban lifestyle, with its long work hours, low water intake, and high-salt diet, kidney stones are now one of the most common urological problems, especially among residents of New BEL Road, Yeshwanthpur, and RMV Extension.
At Shirdi Sai Hospital, we understand that the pain isn’t just physical — it disrupts your comfort, sleep, and peace of mind.
That’s why our Urology Department is equipped with advanced stone-removal technologies, helping patients recover quickly and avoid recurrence through personalized, holistic care.
What Are Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form when substances like calcium, oxalate, or uric acid crystallize in the kidneys.
Small stones may pass naturally, but larger ones can cause blockage, infection, or severe pain — requiring medical intervention.
Common Symptoms:
- Intense pain in the lower back, abdomen, or groin
- Burning sensation during urination
- Blood in urine (hematuria)
- Frequent urge to urinate
- Nausea or vomiting during pain episodes
If you notice these symptoms, don’t delay — timely diagnosis prevents kidney damage.
Causes of Kidney Stones
Several lifestyle and medical factors contribute to stone formation:
- Low water intake leading to concentrated urine
- High sodium and protein-rich diet (common in Bangalore’s fast food culture)
- Family history of kidney stones
- Obesity and sedentary habits
- Certain medications or supplements high in calcium or uric acid
💡 Did you know? Bangalore’s hard water regions often contribute to higher stone recurrence — making hydration even more essential.
Advanced Kidney Stone Treatments at Shirdi Sai Hospital
At Shirdi Sai Hospital, New BEL Road, our urologists tailor each treatment to the size, type, and location of the stone, ensuring maximum comfort and minimal recovery time.
1. Medication Therapy (Conservative Management)
For small stones under 5 mm, our doctors prescribe medications that:
- Relax the urinary tract (alpha-blockers)
- Reduce pain and inflammation
- Aid natural stone passage
- Prevent recurrence through diet and hydration guidance
2. Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL)
A non-surgical technique where high-energy shock waves break the stone into tiny fragments that pass naturally through urine.
✅ Painless | ✅ No incision | ✅ Outpatient procedure
3. Ureteroscopy (URS)
For stones lodged in the ureter or lower kidney, a thin, flexible scope is inserted to directly remove or laser-fragment the stones.
Performed under anesthesia, patients typically go home within 24 hours.
4. PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy)
Used for large or complex stones (>2 cm), PCNL involves a small incision in the back to access and remove the stone through a minimally invasive route.
✅ Short hospital stay | ✅ Quick recovery | ✅ Higher success rate
