Kidney Stone Treatment in Mumbai
What is Kidney Stone Disease?
Kidney Treatment in Mumbai has increased over past few years. Kidney stones are small, hard mineral deposits that form inside the kidneys when urine becomes too concentrated. The stones vary in size and can either pass through the urinary tract unnoticed or can lead to pain, urinary bleeding, or infection. They can be made of calcium, uric acid, or other compounds. Kidney stones are a common problem, especially in hot climates, with poor hydration or dietary imbalances.
These stones can bring a lot discomfort but are treatable and often preventable. Kidney Stone treatment and early diagnosis can reduce discomfort and recurrence.
Stones can range from a grain of sand to a marble in size.
Hydration, diet changes, or simple procedures can help remove or prevent them.

Have a Question?
We understand that kidney conditions can be confusing. Here are answers to some of the most common questions patients ask us.
Are kidney stones dangerous?

Can I pass a stone at home?

They can. Recurrence is common without lifestyle changes or follow-up. Preventive care is key.
