Kidney Stones
People aged 30 to 60 are most frequently affected by kidney stones, which can form in either one or both kidneys. They are relatively prevalent, with up to two in every twenty women and three in every twenty males experiencing them at some point in their lives. Nephrolithiasis is the medical name for kidney stones and renal colic when they cause extreme pain.
Small kidney stones have been known to flow through the urine painlessly and without being noticed. However, it happens frequently that a stone obstructs a portion of the urinary system, such as the ureter and urethra. A blockage may result in severe stomach or groin pain and a UTI.
Crystals that build up inside the kidneys due to the blood’s waste products might arise anytime. The crystals may accumulate over time to form a mass of hard stone-like material. This is more likely to occur if a person doesn’t consume enough fluids, takes medicine, or has an illness that causes their urine to have higher quantities of specific compounds.
