Unfortunately, kidney stones are one of the most common and most uncomfortable disorders.
Stones occur when crystals separate from urine and collect on the inner surfaces of the kidney.
From there, the stones can move through the urinary tract, causing extreme pain. Although women suffer from kidney stones, men are more likely to have them. Symptoms include pain in the lower back and side as the stone moves toward the bladder. If the stone is too large to pass, it may irritate the lining of the urinary tract and cause blood in the urine. Preventing kidney stones is still somewhat of a mystery.
