Why is treatment sometimes done earlier than the payment?
When a case is urgent and vital, hospitals often proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalisation of admission procedures. Usually, when this happens, hospitals put the bill on our credit until the funds are transferred to their accounts. That’s why the chronology can sometimes be in disorder.

Prognosis
Larger stones might require more extensive treatment like using sound waves to break up the stone (lithotripsy), surgery to remove large stones, or using a scope passed through the bladder to remove smaller stones. Stones can cause recurrent UTIs, which may become chronic and can lead to more serious kidney infections. Stones can cause obstruction to urine flow, severe pains, and kidney damage. Stone 1.6cm x 1.2cm, surgery is required to remove the stone otherwise it can cause urine obstruction/retention, pain, bleeding, kidney damage, and infections. It is our decision that it should be removed, and the prognosis is good if removed earlier.
