🩺 What Are Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. They can vary in size and may cause severe pain or urinary problems when they move through the urinary tract.

✔️ Causes and Risk Factors

✔️ Dehydration or low fluid intake
✔️ High salt, sugar, or protein diet
✔️ Family history of kidney stones
✔️ Certain medical conditions (e.g., gout, hyperparathyroidism)
✔️ Obesity and metabolic syndrome
✔️ Certain medications and supplements

⚠️ Symptoms to Watch For

✔️ Severe pain in the side, back, or lower abdomen
✔️ Painful or frequent urination
✔️ Blood in urine (pink, red, or brown)
✔️ Nausea and vomiting
✔️ Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
✔️ Fever and chills (if infection is present)

✔️ Diagnosis

✔️ Urine and blood tests
✔️ Imaging: Ultrasound, X-ray, or CT scan to locate stones
✔️ Analysis of passed stones (if possible)

⭐ Treatment Options

✔️ Small Stones (usually <5mm)

✔️ Drink plenty of fluids to flush out stones
✔️ Pain management with medications

✔️ Larger Stones or Persistent Symptoms

✔️ Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) – uses sound waves to break stones
