Kidney Stones

Dr.Vikas Agarwal, 3 mins read

Kidney stones are extremely common urinary tract disorder, it affects men twice than women and possibility increases after the age of 40. Risk of kidney stones may be less, but can’t be completely avoided in children and teenagers. Stone disease is in the form of hard deposits of minerals and salts. These deposits may seem like little stones and normally vary in size.

The treatment totally depends upon the size and intensity of the stone, and may require stone surgery. The clinician ideally examines the condition, runs a few tests and based on that chalks out a treatment plan. We have expertise in treating kidney stones all sizes and complexity.
