Kidney Stone Removal

Kidney stone removal depends on the stone’s size, location, and severity. Treatments range from natural methods to advanced medical procedures for effective relief and prevention.

Introduction 

Drinking plenty of water helps flush out small kidney stones naturally by increasing urine flow and preventing mineral buildup in the kidneys.

Increased Hydration

Reducing salt, oxalate-rich foods, and animal proteins can prevent stone formation and support kidney health, lowering the risk of recurring kidney stones.
