Kidney stone

Kidney stones are hard deposits of stones made up of acid salts and minerals. They are formed in your kidneys when the excess mineral or acid is not passed out through urine. They may also affect other areas in the urinary tract such as the bladder, urethra, or ureter. Kidney stones are caused due to various reasons. They are of different types and are usually made up of calcium, uric acid, struvite, or cystine. Small kidney stones can be treated by drinking excess water and taking medication. However, larger stones are treated through surgical procedures. You may need personalized treatment depending upon the size and shape of your kidney stone. In some cases, the small kidney stones may reach your bladders through the ureters which can grow into bladder stones. Kidney stones usually cause severe pain at the sides and back. The symptoms start to appear when the stone is present in the ureters.
