Kidney Stones Treatment in Johor Bahru

Batu Karang Buah Pinggang

Kidney stones are a common and painful condition in Malaysia, where the hot climate leads to dehydration — a key risk factor for stone formation. Stones form when minerals crystallise in the kidney and can cause severe flank pain when they pass through the urinary tract. Malaysia has a relatively high prevalence of kidney stones, particularly calcium oxalate stones linked to dietary habits.

Symptoms of Kidney Stones

✓Severe, sudden pain in the side or lower back (renal colic)
✓Pain radiating to the groin or lower abdomen
✓Blood in the urine (pink or brownish discolouration)
✓Frequent, painful urination
✓Nausea and vomiting during pain episodes
✓Fever and chills if infection is also present

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor urgently if you have severe flank pain with blood in the urine — this is the classic kidney stone presentation requiring same-day evaluation. Seek emergency care if you also have high fever, as an infected obstructed kidney (pyonephrosis) is a medical emergency.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

Klinik Muhibbah can assess suspected kidney stones with urine dipstick testing (checking for blood), and abdominal ultrasound to detect stone location and kidney swelling. We provide pain relief with NSAIDs and antispasmodics, adequate hydration advice, and urine straining guidance for stone analysis. Small stones often pass spontaneously with adequate hydration. Larger stones or recurrent cases are referred to a urologist for further management including lithotripsy.

Prevention Tips

1Drink at least 2.5–3 litres of water daily, more in hot weather
2Reduce salt intake — excess sodium increases calcium in urine
3Limit oxalate-rich foods (spinach, nuts, chocolate) if prone to calcium oxalate stones
4Eat a balanced diet with adequate calcium from food sources
5Avoid excessive protein from red meat which increases uric acid stone risk

Is kidney stone pain an emergency?▼
