Every Pakistani summer brings the same warnings about heatstroke and fainting. There is a quieter crisis that gets far less attention. As temperatures climb past 45 degrees in many cities, urologists across the country see a sharp rise in one painful condition: kidney stones, known in Urdu as \u06af\u0631\u062f\u06d2 \u06a9\u06cc \u067e\u062a\u06be\u0631\u06cc (gurday ki pathri)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Quick Answer<\/p>\n

During a heatwave your body loses water through sweat, your urine becomes concentrated, and the minerals in it crystallise more easily into stones. This is why kidney stones in summer rise sharply across Pakistan.<\/strong> Drinking enough water is the single most effective way to stay safe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

If you are already feeling sharp pain in your back or side during this heat, do not wait it out. You can consult a urologist on Marham<\/a> quickly from home.<\/p>\n
