Kidney and Urinary Tract Stones
Urinary stones form when mineral deposits crystallise within the kidneys, ureters, or bladder, which can cause severe flank pain, nausea, and urinary obstruction that requires prompt medical or surgical intervention.
at Sterling Hospitals

Exceptional urological care begins with precise diagnosis and personalised medical attention. At Sterling Hospitals, Gandhidham, our urologists take a comprehensive approach to urinary and male reproductive care, evaluating each patient's symptoms, medical history, and diagnostic findings to identify the underlying condition and determine an appropriate treatment plan based on their individual healthcare needs. Below is a list of our urologists to help patients find the right specialist based on their respiratory concerns and treatment requirements.
A urologist is a specialised medical doctor who diagnoses, manages, and treats conditions affecting the urinary tract system in both men and women, as well as the male reproductive system. They evaluate symptoms such as painful urination, blood in the urine, urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and erectile difficulties by reviewing comprehensive medical histories and performing relevant clinical examinations and investigations. Depending on the exact diagnosis, urologists offer a spectrum of care ranging from conservative medical therapies and lifestyle modifications to advanced minimally invasive and surgical interventions.
Our urology team at Sterling Hospitals, Gandhidham, provides comprehensive evaluation and management for a broad spectrum of disorders affecting the kidney, bladder, prostate, and male reproductive organ systems, including the following:
Urinary stones form when mineral deposits crystallise within the kidneys, ureters, or bladder, which can cause severe flank pain, nausea, and urinary obstruction that requires prompt medical or surgical intervention.
BPH involves non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland in ageing men, leading to lower urinary tract symptoms such as weak urine stream, frequent nighttime urination, and incomplete bladder emptying.
Malignancies can develop within the kidneys, bladder, prostate gland, testicles, or adrenal glands, requiring multidisciplinary oncological evaluation, staging, and surgical management.
Involuntary loss of urine or overactive bladder symptoms significantly impact quality of life and are systematically evaluated to restore normal bladder control and function.
Recurrent or complicated bacterial infections of the bladder, kidneys, or urethra require detailed diagnostic assessment to identify anatomical or functional risk factors and prevent recurrent episodes.
Sexual health concerns and reproductive issues are thoroughly evaluated through hormone profiling, vascular assessments, and specialised diagnostic testing to provide effective medical and surgical treatment options.
Narrowing of the urethra caused by scarring or inflammation can obstruct urine flow, necessitating reconstructive techniques to restore normal urinary passage.
Congenital anomalies of the kidneys, bladder, or genitalia in children, such as undescended testicles or vesicoureteral reflux, receive specialised surgical care tailored to paediatric needs.
Our urology team at Sterling Hospitals, Gandhidham, provides a comprehensive range of procedural interventions and targeted medical treatments to effectively manage complex urinary and male reproductive health conditions, including:
Techniques such as Ureteroscopy (URS), Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS), and Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) use laser energy to break down and remove urinary stones with minimal recovery time.
A minimally invasive endoscopic procedure performed to trim enlarged prostate tissue and relieve bladder outlet obstruction in men with BPH.
Advanced keyhole surgical techniques allow precise removal or reconstruction of kidneys, prostate, and bladder with reduced postoperative discomfort and faster return to daily activities.
Surgical options for localised urological malignancies aimed at complete tumour removal while preserving surrounding functional structures wherever feasible.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy uses non-invasive shock waves to fragment kidney stones into small particles that can pass naturally through the urine.
Comprehensive functional testing of the bladder and sphincter muscles to evaluate complex patterns of urinary incontinence and voiding dysfunction.
Surgical repair of urethral strictures using open or tissue-grafting techniques to restore healthy urine flow.
While minor urinary symptoms may initially be evaluated by a general practitioner, persistent, severe, or recurrent issues warrant specialist urological evaluation. You must consult a urologist directly or request a referral if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Blood in the Urine (Haematuria): Any visible red or cola-colored urine requires immediate specialist assessment to rule out stone disease, infection, or underlying structural lesions.
Severe Side, Back, or Groin Pain: Sudden, intense flank pain that radiates to the lower abdomen may indicate acute urinary obstruction caused by kidney stones.
Persistent Pain or Burning During Urination: Dysuria that recurs frequently or fails to resolve with standard antibiotics warrants further investigation into underlying urinary tract pathology.
Changes in Urination Patterns: Difficulty starting urination, weak urinary stream, sudden urgency, or waking up multiple times during the night to void can indicate prostate or bladder issues.
Involuntary Urinary Leakage: Uncontrolled urine leakage during coughing, sneezing, or sudden exertion should be evaluated to identify correctable causes of incontinence.
A Lump or Pain in the Testicles: Any palpable mass, swelling, or localised pain in the scrotal area requires prompt clinical and diagnostic imaging evaluation.
Erectile Dysfunction or Fertility Issues: Persistent difficulty achieving an erection or ongoing inability to conceive warrants a private, specialised consultation to explore underlying medical or hormonal causes.
Abnormal Imaging Findings: Incidental masses or structural abnormalities found on routine ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI scans require expert clinical correlation.
