What is the cost of kidney stone surgery in Bhopal?
Kidney stone treatment cost varies based on stone size, location, and the procedure required (ESWL, ureteroscopy, or PCNL). R.K. Hospital, Indrapuri offers affordable stone treatment with cashless insurance options. Call 0755-4260605 for pricing details.
Can kidney stones be treated without surgery?
Small stones (less than 6 mm) can often pass on their own with adequate hydration and medications. Larger stones or those causing obstruction or infection require intervention. Our doctors at R.K. Hospital will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on stone size and symptoms.
How can I prevent kidney stones from coming back?
Drink at least 2.5-3 litres of water daily, reduce salt and animal protein intake, eat calcium-rich foods (but avoid excess supplements), and limit oxalate-rich foods like spinach and nuts. Our team at R.K. Hospital provides personalised dietary guidance for stone prevention.
How long does it take to pass a kidney stone?
Small stones (less than 4 mm) may pass within 1-2 weeks with adequate fluids and medication. Stones between 4-6 mm may take 2-4 weeks. Stones larger than 6 mm are unlikely to pass on their own and may require medical intervention at R.K. Hospital.
