News Topical, Digital Desk : In today's busy life, people are not able to take proper care of their health. Due to this, they are surrounded by many types of diseases. Kidney disease is also one of them. Kidney is an important part of our body. It pumps blood and cleans the body. If there is even a slight defect in it, then it is unable to do its work.

But if its symptoms are identified in time, then this disease can be cured with medicine. Today we are going to give you detailed information about kidney stones and its symptoms. Let's know-

What is a kidney stone?

Let us tell you that kidney stones  are actually clusters of small crystals, which are formed from minerals and other elements in your urinary tract. Most stones pass through the urine on their own, but when they move, it can cause a lot of pain. If the stone does not come out on its own or causes a blockage, then the doctor may need to break it or remove it.

This is how stones are made

These stones are formed inside the kidney from minerals, acids and salts. They can sometimes be very small (as big as a grain of sand) and sometimes very big (bigger than a golf ball, although this happens very rarely). Kidney stones are also called renal calculi or nephrolithiasis. If the stone is small, then many times people do not even know that they have stones. These easily pass out with urine. But large stones can get stuck in the urinary tube (ureter), due to which urine stops flowing and kidney function  can stop.

Symptoms of kidney stones

• Pain in the groin, abdomen, or side
• Pain in the thighs and legs
• Vomiting
• Bleeding from urine
• Burning or pain when urinating
• stoppage of urine
• Frequent urge to urinate
• fever or chills

Reasons for the formation of kidney stones

Urine contains minerals, acids and other elements such as calcium, sodium, oxalate and uric acid. If these accumulate in large amounts and there is a shortage of water, they stick together and form crystals. This leads to the formation of stones.
