Kidney stones form when the urine is concentrated which allows the minerals and salts in the urine to crystallize and stick together. The likelihood of developing kidney stones is affected by diet, excess body weight, some medical conditions, and certain supplements. Common symptoms of kidney stones include pain (in lower abdomen, in groin, while urinating), blood in urine, difficulty urinating, nausea, and vomiting. Treatment for kidney stones usually involves a multifaceted approach to alleviate symptoms, prevent recurrence, and promote overall kidney health.
