Stuck with a Stone? A Simple Guide to Navigating Kidney Stone Treatment in Mumbai

Woke up with back pain that feels like being jabbed with a hot knife? That sharp, intense agony could be a kidney stone. And if you’re in Mumbai, navigating your treatment options can feel like its own puzzle.

Let’s simplify it for you.

What Are Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. They can be as tiny as a grain of sand—or as large as a pebble—and when they move, the pain can be excruciating.

Signs You Might Have One:

• Severe pain in the back or side
• Pain that radiates to the lower abdomen or groin
• Nausea and vomiting
• Blood in urine
• Frequent or painful urination

Treatment: From Stones to Solution

At Zen Multispecialty Hospital, we tailor the treatment based on size, location, and symptoms. Options include:

• Hydration & Medications – for small stones that can pass naturally
• ESWL (Shock Wave Lithotripsy) – to break stones into smaller pieces
• URS (Ureteroscopy) – using a thin scope to remove or break stones
• PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) – a minimally invasive surgery for large or stubborn stones
• Laser Stone Surgery – precision meets speed
