  2. What Are Kidney Stones? Kidney stones are solid masses made of crystals that originate in the kidneys. They can vary in size from a grain of sand to a golf ball. The most common types of kidney stones include: •Calcium Stones: These are the most common and are usually composed of calcium oxalate. •Struvite Stones: Often caused by infections, these can grow quickly and become quite large. •Uric Acid Stones: These form in people who don't drink enough fluids or who lose too much fluid. •Cystine Stones: These are rare and occur in people with a genetic disorder that causes cystine to leak into the urine. Symptoms of Kidney Stones Kidney stones may not cause symptoms until they move around within the kidney or pass into the ureter. When symptoms do occur, they can include: •Severe pain in the side and back, below the ribs •Pain that radiates to the lower abdomen and groin •Pain that comes in waves and fluctuates in intensity •Painful urination •Pink, red, or brown urine •Cloudy or foul-smelling urine •Nausea and vomiting •Persistent need to urinate

  3. Causes of Kidney Stones Several factors can increase the risk of developing kidney stones, including: •Dehydration: Not drinking enough water can cause urine to become concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together. •Diet: High intake of salt, sugar, and protein can increase the risk of certain types of stones. •Obesity: Higher body weight and a larger waistline can change the acid levels in the urine, leading to stone formation. •Medical Conditions: Conditions like urinary tract infections, kidney disease, and digestive diseases can increase the risk of stones. •Family History: A history of kidney stones in the family can increase your risk.
