🔹 Introduction / परिचय

Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys.
गुर्दे की पथरी एक आम लेकिन दर्दनाक समस्या है, जिसमें शरीर के अतिरिक्त खनिज और लवण गुर्दे में जमा होकर छोटे या बड़े पत्थर बना लेते हैं।

It can affect anyone, but is more common in men aged 30–60 years, especially in hot climates like Rajasthan.

🔹 Treatment / उपचार

Treatment depends on the size and location of the stone:

1. 💧 Small Stones (<5 mm) — Usually pass naturally with increased water intake and medication.
   छोटी पथरी अधिक पानी पीने और दवाओं से निकल सकती है।

2. 💊 Medical Management — Painkillers, anti-spasmodic drugs, and medicines to dissolve or prevent stones.

3. 🔦 Lithotripsy — Non-surgical laser treatment that breaks stones into small pieces.
   यह बिना ऑपरेशन के उपचार है जिसमें लेज़र से पत्थरी तोड़ी जाती है।

4. 🩻 Endoscopic or Surgical Removal — For larger stones causing obstruction or infection.
