Struvite stones are a type of kidney stone that grows quite quickly and may block your kidney, ureter, or bladder, causing kidney damage. These stones are made from struvite, a mineral that is produced by bacteria in the urinary tract. The bacteria produce struvite while breaking down waste products (urea) into ammonia. Struvite forms only when the urine is alkaline, which happens when you get a urinary tract infection.
Struvite stones cause symptoms similar to other types of stones. Pain in the side and back, frequent urge to urinate, fever, pain while urinating, and blood in the urine are some common symptoms of these stones, which may differ in severity based on how severe your condition is.

After treatment, the patients are required to follow a proper recovery regimen to ensure quick recovery, and avoid any complications. This may involve making lifestyle changes, and keeping an eye out for complications. Here are some ways in which you can boost your recovery after your struvite stones treatment:
During your consultation with the urologist, you must ask them all the necessary questions regarding the disease and its treatment. By asking them all the important questions, you’ll be able to remain calm during the procedure. In addition, the doctor’s ability to address your queries will help you trust the doctor and their skills. We have curated some questions in the list below that you should ask the doctor during your consultation:
Yes. Kidney stone treatment, including that of struvite stones, is generally covered under health insurance. But, insurance may only cover the cost of surgical management of struvite stones. You must talk to your insurance provider if they will provide you with coverage for conservative treatment as well. You must also know that the amount of coverage provided by insurance companies also varies based on their respective terms and conditions. So, make sure you obtain clarity regarding its coverage beforehand. At Pristyn Care, we provide complete insurance assistance to patients to help them claim insurance seamlessly.
Struvite stones are caused by bacteria in the urinary tract, which is considered the major cause of the formation of these stones. These stones form when the urine becomes alkaline due to a urinary tract infection.
Listed below are some common symptoms of struvite stones:
It depends upon the type of treatment you’ve received. Most struvite stone treatment procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, and the patients can return home the same day. In some cases, a longer hospital stay may be required. The duration of the stay also depends upon the patient’s overall health and other factors.
Struvite stones are a type of kidney stones that form due to infections in the upper urinary tract. These stones may stay in the kidneys or travel to the urinary tract or the ureter.
If the struvite stones are small, they may not require any treatment and dissolve on their own. Patients can increase their fluid intake, eat a healthy diet, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to help the stones dissolve and flush out of the system on their own. However, if the stones are large, and there’s a risk of ureteral obstruction, surgery may become requisite.
Struvite stones can recur even after surgery. But there are ways to prevent the stones from recurring. The doctor may prescribe medicines such as Acetohydroxamic acid (AHA), to block ammonia build up, and prevent the formation of struvite stones. Additionally, the doctor may also prescribe some antibiotics for the long term for the prevention of urinary tract infections.
