Kidney Stones: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Kidney stones are like tiny rocks that can form in your kidneys.

They happen when your pee has too much of certain stuff in it.

If you don't drink enough water, it's easier for these rocks to grow.

Some foods and family history also play a role.

You might feel pain, have trouble peeing, or see blood if you have them.

Doctors can find them with tests.

Small stones can pass on their own with lots of water.

Larger ones may need help.

To prevent them, drink plenty of water, eat a healthy diet, and stay active.
