Treatment for Kidney stones .

Immediate Treatment

Hydration

Increase Water Intake: Drink plenty of water (2-3 liters a day) to help flush out small stones.

Non-Invasive Procedures
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)
Shock Waves: High-energy shock waves are used to break the stones into smaller pieces that can be passed in the urine.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
Ureteroscopy

Scope Removal: A small scope is inserted into the ureter to locate and remove or break up the stone using laser energy.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)

Surgical Removal: For larger stones, a small incision is made in the back to access and remove the stone directly from the kidney.
Open Surgery

Rare Cases
Open Surgery: In rare instances where other methods are not effective, traditional surgery may be performed to remove very large stones.
Long-Term Prevention

Dietary Changes

Increase Fluid Intake: Continue drinking plenty of water to prevent new stones from forming.
Reduce Sodium: Lower salt intake to decrease the likelihood of stone formation.
Limit Oxalate-Rich Foods: Reduce consumption of foods high in oxalates, such as spinach, nuts, and tea, if you form calcium oxalate stones.
Moderate Protein Intake: Reduce intake of animal proteins which can increase the risk of stones.

Medications

Preventive Medications: Depending on the type of stone, medications such as thiazide diuretics, potassium citrate, or allopurinol may be prescribed to prevent recurrence.

Regular Monitoring

Follow-Up: Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider to monitor your condition and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
Lifestyle Modifications
Healthy Diet
