Kidney Stone Treatment in Gurugram (Gurgaon)

A urologist treats kidney and ureter stones. Urologists are trained in medicines, scopes, laser and keyhole procedures for stones. At this clinic, you can consult Dr. Arif Akhtar, a urologist and uro-surgeon in Gurugram.

Look for a urologist with recognised qualifications and a valid registration, experience with stone procedures, a clear explanation of all your options and their risks, willingness to share a written cost estimate, and a plan for follow-up. You should never feel pressured into surgery, and a second opinion should always be welcome.

No. Small stones without infection or blockage can often pass with fluids, pain control and medicines under supervision. Treatment is advised when a stone causes ongoing pain, blockage, infection, bleeding or kidney damage, or when it is unlikely to pass on its own.

ESWL breaks stones from outside the body with shock waves. RIRS uses a thin scope through the natural passage and a laser, with no skin cut. PCNL and Mini-PCNL use a small keyhole in the back and are generally used for larger or complex stones. Your urologist picks the option based on your stone and your health.

Yes. RIRS is performed through the natural urinary passage, so there is no skin incision. It is done under anaesthesia, and a temporary DJ stent is often placed afterwards.

PCNL or Mini-PCNL is usually considered for large, hard or multiple kidney stones, or stones that fill part of the kidney, and when other methods are unlikely to clear them.

You will be under anaesthesia during surgery, so you will not feel the procedure. Some discomfort afterwards is common, such as soreness, burning while passing urine, blood in the urine or stent irritation. It is managed with medicines, and your doctor will explain what to expect.

It varies. After ESWL, RIRS or ureteroscopy, many people return to light activity within a few days. After PCNL, recovery commonly takes one to two weeks. Follow the advice given for your case.

The cost depends on the stone, the procedure, the hospital stay and other factors. See the cost section above. We provide a written estimate once your reports are reviewed.

Some small stones pass on their own, and certain stone types may respond to medicines. Most larger stones will not dissolve, and home remedies should never delay care when there is severe pain, fever or a blockage. Your urologist can tell you whether watchful waiting is safe for your stone.

Yes. Many people form another stone later. Drinking enough fluids, lowering salt and following the advice for your stone type can reduce the risk.

A ureter stone can block the flow of urine. Most small ones pass, but a stone with fever, chills or no urine output is an emergency, and a stone that does not pass can damage the kidney. Get it assessed by a urologist.
