Dr Gyvi Gaurav, Consultant
Urologist and Head of Uro-oncology at Precision Urology Hospital, was invited
as an expert panelist on 6th
March, 2024 by our national broadcaster, Doordarshan for DD Uttar Pradesh’s
live dial-in awareness program - “सेहत आपकी”. Dealing with common misconceptions around kidney stones and their
treatment, the episode was aptly titled “Kidney stones: Breaking the myths
before the stones” (गुर्दे की पथरी: पथरी से पहले भ्रांतियों को तोड़ना).
Dr Gaurav highlighted that
lack of awareness about any disease leads to confusion, misinformation and
irrational fears around its treatment. Subsequent delays in correct treatment
can cause harm which could have been prevented. Renal stone disease is no
exception. There were several enquiries made by callers who wanted to know more
about the treatment of kidney stones.
