Renal, Bladder and Ureteric Stones

Renal, bladder, and ureteric stones are solid masses formed from minerals and salts that can develop in the kidneys, bladder, or ureters (the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder). These stones vary in size and composition and can cause symptoms such as severe pain, difficulty urinating, blood in the urine, and nausea. Treatment options include medications, dietary changes, and procedures such as lithotripsy (breaking up the stones with shock waves), ureteroscopy (using a small scope to remove the stones), or surgery in more severe cases. Prompt treatment is essential to relieve symptoms and prevent complications such as urinary tract infections or kidney damage.
