It was thought to be rare for a woman to experience kidney stones. However, that thinking has since changed as the incidence among women in the last ten years is increasing. If you have had kidney stones in the past, it appears quite likely that you will have them again in the future unless you take steps to prevent them. Work with your doctor's orders on this matter. Finally, the region where you live seems to affect attack rates.
Persons living in warmer climates, particularly the southeast, have higher incidence rates.
This could be due to the South's traditional high fat, green vegetable, and brewed tea diet. Honestly, we cannot give a definitive answer to that. Salt tends to cause the body to excrete higher concentrations of calcium, thereby increasing the amount of calcium present in the urine. Other doctors believe that kidney stones are directly related to your water intake, or lack thereof. In our fast paced cola world, it can be easy to skip that recommended 8-10 glasses of water per day.
