In simple terms, they are like tiny stones that form inside the kidneys, somewhat similar to tiny bits of sand. Some of these stones are formed because certain minerals in the urine gather together. Can you imagine that? Kidney stones, like thieves, sneak into your kidneys and make a party, but sometimes they get bold and move quietly toward the urethra, and that can be painful! Why do we have this stuff? Don't worry, I'll answer! Sometimes there is too much of something in the urine, and they act like squabbling buddies, clustering together and not leaving. Also, if you don't give them enough water, the urine gets thicker, which is a big no-no for stones! Don't take salt, protein and sugar as their "lunch special", they are not a "stone maker", but a "contributor" to kidney stones! If you consume too much of them, they will leave a bad mark in your urine and set the stage for stones. So, carefully control the amount of them, do not allow them to become the "small stone" in the kidney!
When the stone flows from the kidney to the urethra, you may feel a sharp pain that is usually accompanied by abdominal discomfort, and stomach ache, and sometimes it may cause nausea and the feeling of wanting to vomit.
But please don't worry, although the pain is unpleasant, it usually doesn't last long and eventually, the stone will pass out through the urethra. The key thing is that we need to keep consuming enough water, which can help us dilute the substances in our urine, thus reducing stone formation. In addition, your doctor may recommend that you change your diet by reducing your salt and meat intake and increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables. For larger stones, your doctor may use ultrasonic lithotripsy to break up the stones and make them easier to pass out of the body.
Finally, remember that if you suspect you may have kidney stones, make sure you seek medical attention as soon as possible. And you shouldn't be afraid of this, even though kidney stones may make you feel uncomfortable, with proper treatment and prevention, you can fully recover and no longer suffer from them.
Maintain good eating and drinking habits! The right lifestyle reduces the risk oh so much. To avoid this guy, drink enough water and keep it away from your kidneys! Eat a varied diet and don't let it bother you. Remember, it's not your pet rock!
