I have been to the hospital twice, they have ruled out UTI or anything else. They sent me home with a strainer, told me to strain my urine, and bring any hard objects to my physician. But, I have having trouble identifying them.
Kidney stones are approximately three times more common in men than women.
Mild chronic dehydration is thought to play a role in the development of kidney stones, which may account for the increased incidence of kidney stones in the summer when people sweat more and have more concentrated urine. These stones are comprised of calcium, magnesium, and ammonium phosphate and they are associated with a high aluminum content and high alkaline content in the urine, due to present bacteria. Anytime that you arrive home after a doctor's appointment and realize that there is something about your health that you don't understand, you should feel free to call back your doctor and ask questions.
