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 referral for an abdominal ultrasound when imaging is needed. 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

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does kidney stone treatment cost at Klinik Muhibbah?▼

A consultation for kidney stone pain is available at Klinik Muhibbah — please call us at +60 7-251 1162 for current pricing. We provide pain relief, urine testing, and referral for an ultrasound scan where needed. Walk-ins are welcome for urgent cases.

How are kidney stones diagnosed?▼

Our doctors assess kidney stones through urine dipstick testing (looking for blood), clinical examination, and, when needed, referral for an ultrasound scan, which can show many stones and any kidney obstruction. Ultrasound does not detect every stone — some need a CT scan at a hospital, which can be arranged via referral.

Is kidney stone pain an emergency?▼

Kidney stone pain (renal colic) is one of the most severe pains in medicine and should be seen the same day. While most small stones pass on their own with adequate pain relief and hydration, stones with associated fever require urgent hospital assessment. Do not delay if you have both severe flank pain and fever.
