What are Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones are hard, crystal-like deposits that form in the kidneys or urinary tract when certain minerals and salts become concentrated in the urine. They can vary in size, and smaller stones may sometimes pass naturally through the urinary system without surgical treatment. However, larger stones or stones that become lodged in the urinary tract can cause significant pain and difficulty passing urine. Common symptoms may include severe pain in the side or back, pain that spreads toward the lower abdomen or groin, blood in the urine, burning while urinating, frequent urination, nausea, or vomiting. When a stone blocks the normal flow of urine, it can lead to urinary obstruction, swelling of the kidney, or infection.
