What Kind Of A Doctor Should I Consult For Kidney Stone?
I bled out the muscle that is at my waistline two weeks ago. My right leg is where the blood finally pooled behind my knee and has now gone away. Went to emergency and they said nothing was wrong with my hip! Had a scan of soft tissue and the only thing found was a kidney stone on the left kidney which I have passed and that is fine. What should I do next and what kind of a doctor should I see?
Hi, You need not worry much about a single kidney stone which you have already passed. Please take the following precautions to prevent further stone formation: 1. Drink lot of fluids (as much to keep your urine always colorless) 2. Reduce sodium intake to less than 2.3 g 3. Reduce animal protein intake to less than 6 ounces per day 4. Take lot of citrus fruits 5. Reduce chocolates, soft drinks, tea, coffee and nuts Get an ultrasonogram after about 6 months to look for any new stone formation. If you are still worried, you can consult a Urologist for kidney stone. I am available to answer any more queries you may have, Wish you good health, Dr. Raguram.
