What is KIDNEY STONES?
Hard deposits of salts and other minerals formed within the kidney or urinary tract are termed as Kidney stones. These kidney stones are also referred to as Nephrolithiasis or Renal Lithiasis. As we know our kidneys filter our body fluids and remove unwanted minerals and salts from our body in the form of urine and when excess minerals and salt get accumulated in urine, they stick together and turn into hard masses which vary in size and shape. They first originate in your kidneys and travel down to ureters along the urinary tract. Most of the times when stones are small, they pass out in the urine without causing any pain. But if the size of the stone is big, it gets stuck in the ureters and blocks the flow of urine.
Kidney stones are one of the most painful of urologic disorders. Men tend to be affected more frequently than women.
Some of the symptoms of kidney stone disease are blood in the urine, vomiting, nausea, chills, fever
