Common symptoms are sudden severe pain in the side or back that may spread to the groin, blood in the urine, burning or frequent urination, nausea and vomiting. Fever with pain needs urgent medical care.

RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) removes kidney stones through the natural urinary passage using a thin flexible scope and laser, without any cut on the skin.

RIRS uses a flexible scope and laser for small to medium kidney stones. PCNL uses a small keyhole in the back for large stones. URS treats stones in the ureter. ESWL breaks selected small stones with shockwaves from outside the body. Your urologist chooses the method after a scan.

RIRS is done under anaesthesia, so you do not feel pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort or blood in urine can occur for a few days, and a temporary stent may be placed. Recovery time varies, and your surgeon will give you personal advice.

The cost depends on stone size, number and position, the type of procedure, the hospital and anaesthesia. A fair estimate is possible only after examination and scans, so call or WhatsApp +91 93365 32660 to book a consultation.

Small stones may pass on their own with plenty of fluids and medicines prescribed by the doctor. Larger stones, stones that block urine flow, or stones with infection or fever usually need treatment. A scan shows which situation applies to you.

Blood in urine should never be ignored, even if it appears only once and without pain. It can be caused by a stone, infection, prostate problem or something needing closer attention, so get it checked by a urologist.

Burning urination, frequent urges, cloudy or foul-smelling urine and lower abdominal pain. Fever, back pain or repeated infections need a proper evaluation.
