Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are hard mineral and salt deposits that form inside the kidneys. They vary in size and can cause severe pain when passing through the urinary tract.
Causes of Kidney Stones
• Dehydration – Low water intake leads to concentrated urine, increasing stone formation.
• High calcium & oxalate intake – Excessive dairy, spinach, nuts, and chocolates can contribute.
• Excess salt consumption – Causes calcium buildup in urine, forming stones.
• Obesity & sedentary lifestyle – Reduces kidney function and increases stone risk.
• Certain medical conditions – Hyperparathyroidism, UTIs, and metabolic disorders can trigger stones.
• Genetics – Family history of kidney stones increases susceptibility.
Symptoms of Kidney Stones
• Severe pain in lower back or abdomen
• Burning sensation while urinating
• Frequent urge to urinate
• Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
• Blood in urine (hematuria)
• Nausea and vomiting
