Diagnosis & Treatment Of 1 cm Kidney Stones
Diagnosis
To locate the kidney stone and obtain clarity on its size, doctors thoroughly diagnose the condition. Another purpose of carrying out a proper diagnosis is to look for underlying conditions that may be causing the condition or may impact treatment. Some standard diagnostic tests performed before kidney stones treatment include:
Treatment
After conducting a thorough diagnosis, the doctors chalk out a suitable treatment plan. The treatment is based on the stone’s size and location and the patient’s overall health condition. Listed below are some common treatment procedures for kidney stones.
This is an advanced surgery for kidney stones that offers effective treatment for stones of various sizes. The patient is sedated with general anesthesia. Then, the surgeon uses a thin and flexible endoscope with a tiny laser on end to break the stones into smaller pieces. Or in some cases, the stones are removed with the help of forceps. Then, the doctor allows the fragmented pieces to pass naturally through the urine.
In some cases, the surgeon might insert stents through the urethra to enlarge the passage of the urinary tract, allowing stones to pass easily. In some cases, the stents are kept for 10 to 14 days. However, in other cases, the stent is removed on the same day.
In this non-invasive procedure, the patient is sedated with spinal anesthesia, and shockwaves are given from outside the body to break kidney stones into fragments or stone dust. This procedure generally involves multiple sessions. The broken fragments are allowed to pass through the urine.
URSL, or Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy, is a safe and effective surgery for 1 cm kidney stones in which the surgeon uses a ureteroscope and passes it into the ureter with a camera and laser on end. The camera helps in locating the stone, and the laser is used to break the stone into small pieces. When the pieces become small, they pass through urine easily. In some cases, urologists use a stent to increase the opening of the ureter.
This is another minimally-invasive surgery for kidney stones which is considered a viable treatment for removing large kidney stones. This surgery is also performed under anesthesia, and the patient is sedated throughout. The surgeon makes a minor incision on the lower back or flank area and inserts a nephroscope. This scope helps doctors locate and break the stone into smaller pieces that flush out the system later. In some cases, the stone is removed in its intact form.

While consulting a doctor for kidney stone treatment, you must ask them some questions to clarify the condition and its treatment. Getting these questions answered will also help you remain calm and collected during the treatment process. Here are some questions you should ask the urologist before kidney stone treatment:
The cost of 1 cm kidney stones in India is different across the country and depends on various factors, including the type of procedure, your location, choice of hospital, the severity of the condition, preference of doctor, etc. The hospitals/doctors consider all these factors before giving patients a cost estimate of the treatment.
It depends. Most insurance companies offer coverage for the surgical removal of kidney stones. When kidney stones get stuck in the ureter or kidneys, they can cause serious health issues, requiring surgical extraction. So, this surgical removal is considered a medical necessity and qualifies for insurance coverage. However, the amount of coverage offered can vary depending on the terms & conditions of the policy provider. Therefore, we suggest you get in touch with your insurance provider to get clarity.
Kidney stones can show various symptoms that indicate you require treatment. Some symptoms can be easily managed, while others hint toward prompt medical intervention. Listed below are some warning signs of 1 cm kidney stones that you shouldn’t ignore:
Kidney stones can form due to various reasons, but some factors can help you prevent these stones, including:
It depends. Surgery isn’t the first line of treatment when it comes to kidney stone treatment. The doctors may initially prescribe some other treatment methods, including medicines, therapy, and non-surgical procedures. Surgery may be suggested if these methods fail to remove the stones and relieve their symptoms.
Kidney stones can cause painful symptoms, but they generally aren’t dangerous. However, they can lead to stone-related infections that can cause potentially life-threatening complications.
Sometimes, kidney stones, especially the ones that aren’t too big in size, can be managed through conservative methods and do not require a doctor’s intervention. But, when stones grow in size or do not respond to conservative therapy, the individuals should see a doctor for extraction. It is important for patients to look for important signs that indicate that the condition may be aggravating and requires immediate treatment. Here are some warning signs that you must look out for:
These symptoms may indicate that you require prompt treatment.
