Due to insufficient water intake, these elements are unable to be excreted through urine and gradually form small crystals inside the kidneys. Over time, these crystals coalesce and harden into stones. These stones don't just stay in the kidneys; they can also become trapped in the ureter, affecting the entire urinary system.
