Every summer, as the temperatures rise in Hyderabad, doctors start noticing a pattern. More patients walk in complaining of severe back pain… burning sensation while passing urine… or sudden, unbearable discomfort that seems to come out of nowhere.
In many of these cases, the reason is the same — kidney stones.
At Bhrungi Hospitals in B.N. Reddy Nagar, this seasonal increase is something we see every year. The surprising part? Most of these cases are preventable.
What Changes in Summer?
Summer in Hyderabad is not just hot, it’s exhausting. With constant sweating and long hours in the heat, your body loses a lot of fluids.
But here’s what many people don’t realize: When you don’t drink enough water to replace that loss, your urine becomes more concentrated. Over time, minerals like calcium and uric acid start sticking together, slowly forming stones inside the kidneys.
It doesn’t happen overnight. It builds up quietly.
Why Kidney Stones Go Unnoticed at First
One of the biggest problems with kidney stones is that they don’t always show clear symptoms in the beginning.
You might feel:
● A slight discomfort in your lower back
● Mild burning while urinating
● Feeling like you need to urinate more often
Most people ignore these signs, thinking it’s something minor. Until one day, the pain becomes too intense to ignore.
When It Turns Serious
Kidney stone pain is often described as one of the most painful experiences.
It usually starts suddenly and may:
● Affect one side of your back
● Move towards the lower abdomen
● Come in waves
● Make it difficult to sit still
At this stage, immediate medical attention is important.
Why It’s More Common Around BN Reddy Nagar & LB Nagar
In areas like B.N. Reddy Nagar, LB Nagar, Vanasthalipuram, and nearby parts of Hyderabad, people often have busy routines—long commutes, outdoor work, irregular eating habits.
This leads to:
● Not drinking enough water
● Skipping proper meals
● Relying on outside or packaged food
All of these increase the risk of kidney stone formation, especially during the summer.
How Kidney Stones Are Diagnosed
At Bhrungi Hospitals, diagnosis is simple and accurate with modern facilities.
Doctors may recommend:
● Ultrasound
● CT Scan
● Urine and blood tests
These help identify the size, location, and type of stone, which is important for deciding the right treatment.
Treatment Options Available
The good news is that kidney stones are treatable.
Depending on the condition, treatment may include:
● Medications to help pass small stones
● Pain management
● Minimally invasive procedures for larger stones
Early treatment can save you from unnecessary pain and complications.
Simple Habits That Can Prevent Kidney Stones
The best way to deal with kidney stones is to prevent them.
Here are a few simple habits that make a big difference:
● Drink plenty of water throughout the day
● Don’t wait until you feel thirsty
● Reduce salt and junk food intake
● Include fresh fruits like watermelon and cucumber
● Avoid excessive soft drinks
In Hyderabad’s summer, staying hydrated is not optional; it’s essential.
When Should You See a Doctor?
Don’t delay if you experience:
● Severe or continuous back pain
● Blood in urine
● Fever or chills
● Nausea or vomiting
Getting medical help at the right time can prevent complications.
Kidney stones don’t just appear suddenly, they build up over time, often without clear warning signs. During summer in Hyderabad, the risk increases quietly, mainly due to dehydration and lifestyle habits.
The good news is that with a little awareness and the right care, most cases can be prevented. If something feels off, don’t ignore it. Listening to your body early can save you from a lot of pain later.
