Urology · Kidney Care
Many people ignore mild back or abdominal pain, thinking it is due to gas, muscle strain, or long working hours. But doctors warn that in some cases, this pain could be an early sign of kidney stones, a condition that can silently damage the kidneys if left untreated.
At My Health Hospitals, Hyderabad, urologists see many patients who come late—only when the pain becomes unbearable or complications develop. According to Dr. Jayanth Reddy, Senior Consultant Urologist, early diagnosis can prevent severe pain, infections, and even emergency surgery.
Kidney stones do not always cause symptoms immediately. In the early stages, the discomfort may come and go, leading people to delay medical consultation.
Common reasons people ignore symptoms:
Unfortunately, this delay can allow stones to grow bigger or move into the ureter, causing intense pain and complications.

They can be:
Smaller stones may pass naturally, but larger stones often require medical treatment.
Dr. Jayanth Reddy explains that kidney stones often show warning signs before becoming severe.
👉 If pain is severe, persistent, or associated with fever, immediate medical attention is essential.

Small kidney stones may pass naturally with good hydration. However, larger stones usually require medical treatment to avoid complications.
Untreated kidney stones can cause severe pain, urinary infections, kidney swelling, and permanent kidney damage.
You should consult a doctor immediately if pain is severe, persistent, associated with fever, blood in urine, or difficulty urinating.
With modern laser treatments, kidney stone procedures are minimally invasive and far less painful than traditional surgery.
If left untreated for a long time, kidney stones can block urine flow and lead to kidney damage or, in rare cases, kidney failure.
