Kidney Stones Detection

Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form in the kidneys and can cause severe pain. Detection typically involves a combination of imaging tests like X-rays, ultrasounds, or CT scans, which help visualize the stones. Doctors may also use urine tests to check for crystals or minerals that indicate stone formation. Symptoms prompting detection may include intense pain, blood in urine, or frequent urination. Early detection can help manage pain and prevent complications, guiding treatment options such as medication or procedures to remove or break down the stones. Regular hydration and dietary adjustments can also aid prevention.
