Kidney stones are hard deposits that develop when minerals and salts in the urine become concentrated and form crystals. They can occur in the kidneys or urinary tract and may cause severe pain, urinary discomfort, nausea or blood in the urine. At Sree Maatre Gastro & Urology Clinic, Dr. Nuthalapati Venkata Naga Praneeth provides comprehensive kidney stone treatment based on the size, location, number and composition of the stones, along with the patient’s symptoms and overall health.
Small kidney stones may sometimes pass naturally with appropriate medical guidance, while larger or obstructing stones may require an active procedure. A detailed evaluation helps determine the most suitable approach. Symptoms that may indicate kidney stones include:
Early consultation with a urologist can help identify stones and reduce the risk of complications.
Kidney stone diagnosis may involve a review of symptoms and medical history along with appropriate investigations. Depending on the clinical situation, the evaluation may include urine tests, blood tests, ultrasound or other imaging studies. Understanding the stone’s size and location is important for planning effective treatment.
Dr. Praneeth offers medical and minimally invasive approaches according to individual requirements. Smaller stones may be managed with medication, hydration advice and observation when clinically appropriate. Stones that are unlikely to pass naturally may require procedures.
Treatment options may include:
Kidney stone treatment does not end after stone removal. Dr. Praneeth also emphasizes preventive care to reduce the likelihood of recurrence. Patients may receive guidance regarding adequate fluid intake, dietary habits and follow-up evaluation based on their individual risk factors.
With expertise in urology, endoscopic procedures, laser stone treatment and minimally invasive surgery, Dr. Nuthalapati Venkata Naga Praneeth provides personalized kidney stone care focused on safe treatment, effective recovery and long-term urinary health.
