Kidney stone patients noticeably increase in number during the summer months. 30–40% more cases are reported by medical facilities. In the Middle East, this seasonal upsurge is noteworthy because of the heat and inadequate hydration.
Kidney stone cases typically increase by about 40% in the summer, according to Dr. Humam Qaraschouli, a consultant urologist at Burjeel Royal Hospital in Asharej.
Doctors say middle-aged people are more affected, especially if they work outside and are exposed to the sun. One major risk factor for kidney stones in workers is dehydration. It raises the concentration of compounds that cause stones and decreases the volume of urine.”
Furthermore, even office workers run the risk of silent dehydration, as they frequently experience it. These people routinely dehydrate despite spending their days in air-conditioned spaces, which also increases their risk of kidney stones, according to specialist urologist Dr. Satyabrata Garanayak of Thumbay University Hospital.
A 35-year-old employee reported that he had been experiencing severe pain on his right side for a few weeks. He went to Thumbay University Hospital to seek medical attention, and after undergoing an X-ray and CT scan, the results showed that he had a large kidney stone, or staghorn calculus, measuring 6 cm.
