Bladder Stone Treatment
Bladder stones are hard mineral deposits that form inside the urinary bladder. They may develop when the bladder does not empty completely or due to other urinary tract-related factors. Some bladder stones may cause no noticeable symptoms, while others can result in pain, difficulty urinating, frequent urination or blood in the urine.
Dr. Ankush Sharma provides evaluation and treatment guidance for patients experiencing symptoms associated with bladder stones. The assessment may include understanding urinary symptoms, medical history and possible underlying causes. Investigations may be recommended to identify the size and location of the stone and assess the urinary system.
Treatment planning depends on factors such as:
- Size and number of stones
- Location of the stones
- Urinary symptoms
- Difficulty emptying the bladder
- Presence of infection
- Underlying urinary problems
For suitable patients, minimally invasive endoscopic treatment may be considered. The hospital provides CLT – Cystolithotripsy as an endoscopic option for bladder stone management.
When Should You Consult a Urologist?
Consult a urologist if you experience:
- Pain while urinating
- Frequent urination
- Difficulty passing urine
- Interrupted urinary flow
- Blood in the urine
- Lower abdominal discomfort
- Recurrent urinary symptoms
Timely evaluation can help identify bladder stones and associated urinary problems.
Consult Dr. Ankush Sharma at Uro Health Care Hospital, Ambala, for bladder stone evaluation and treatment guidance.

GERD - Gastro Oesophageal Reflux Disorder put across in simple English is what many of us know as acidity or acid reflux and we immediately start pulling out a sachet of Eno as an instant cure to calm the acidity down. But rarely do we realise that gastric issues that persist for more than a day are more than just the regular Eno popping and could demand medical attention.
Gastroesophageal reflux disorder is a condition where the opening to the stomach doesn't close completely leading to the backflow of the acids in the stomach, which help digest food. The stomach opening is usually to allow food to enter the stomach and then closes to help the food get digested. In some cases where the muscle opening doesn't close fully it leads to the backflow of acids that are used to digest food. These acids lead to heartburn/ chest burns or regurgitation and nausea in many cases.
How to differentiate between a regular acidity and GERD?
Regular acidity is a condition which occurs due to overeating, excessive consumption of caffeine and eating at odd hours leads to heart burn which can be subsided with simple home remedies.
GERD however, is a condition that has a constant fiery chest burn/ acidity and significant weight loss alongside recurrent nausea and vomiting with gastrointestinal bleeding. If you notice these symptoms on a regular basis, it is best to seek medical advice at the earliest as ignorance could lead to a case of surgery requirements. GERD is found affecting children and infants to adults and elder people.
Diagnosis: Include burning pain in the chest that usually occurs after eating and worsens when lying down.
Other symptoms of GERD include- Non-burning chest pain, which is usually located in the middle of the chest and radiates to the back, difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), a typical reflux symptom relating to the throat, larynx or lungs, sore throat coughing increased salivation shortness of breath, belching, heartburn, nausea, or regurgitation, bitter taste, discomfort in upper abdomen, or dry cough.
