What causes stones in your kidneys and what you must do to reduce your risk

The kidney stones are the size of a grain of sand or a golf ball. They consist of crystalline chemical waste in the urine. In 4-8 % of people, they develop with age or as a result of family history. They are more common in hot climates if you are not hydrated and drink enough fluids, as urine becomes more concentrated.

The pain of the middle under the rib is one of the signs that these stones move in the urinary leaf between the kidneys and the bladder. Other signs are bleeding in the urine, vomiting, and fever. When these stones move, the pains are so intense that we have often heard tow them compared to birth pains. Nearly 90 percent of them go undetectably and feel nothing at all, but when a stone is stuck, then we need ultrasound to break down and exit the urine. The largest stones need surgical surgery, using endoscopine.

Reduce your risk by following the following advice

Drink about two liters of liquid a day to halve the risk;

Agrums change urine acidity and significantly reduce the risk, so consume oranges, citrus or blueberries, which also helps;

Make the amount of salt you consume;

Treat urinary infections immediately because some of them increase the risk of forming stones.

The stones in the bladder are formed from minerals in the urine, which is strengthened because it is not empty. Marks include stomach pain, urine and pain in the penis or testicles. The stones go out if you consume too much water, but in some cases laser or ultrasound treatment is necessary for crushed or surgical intervention when they are very large and difficult to crush.
