78 Best Doctors for Calculus available in Ghaziabad

The treatment for calculus depends on the type of stone a person has in their kidney. It can be treated with medication in benign cases and by strictly drinking 2.5-3 litres of water every day.

A calculus has several symptoms:
1. Blood in the urine
2. Nausea
3. Vomiting
4. Fever
5. Constant need to urinate
6. Urinating very small amounts
7. Discoloured or smelly urine

There are different types of kidney stones, and each of them is made of different compounds:
1. Calcium stones: They are made of calcium and oxalate.
2. Uric acid stones: They are made of uric acid and sometimes with calcium.
3. Struvite stones: They are made of ammonium, phosphate and magnesium
4. Cystine stones: They are made of cystine, a chemical made naturally by the human body

A calculus is formed anywhere in the urinary tract and can be found in the kidneys, bladder, uterus, and urethra.

In some cases, a calculus can be hereditary due to a condition that makes the kidney excrete excess amino acids. It can also occur if you are not well-hydrated.
