The occurrence of kidney stones in the modern era is getting more and more common.
Kidney stones are the cause of extreme, stabbing pain that usually forces you to call the paramedics. They can also cause other, more serious complications.
According to the researches from more developed countries, every 1 in 10 people gets kidney stones during their lifetime.
Kidney stones most commonly occur in the age period between 30 and 45, but in contrast of women, men are 10 times more likely to get them.
They are crystal-shaped mineral deposits.
Kidney stones are usually created inside the kidneys, but they can be created anywhere in the urinary tract- kidneys, ureters or in the bladder.
Symptoms of kidney stones are:
- Sharp pain in the lower back
- Enduring undefined stomach pain
- Bloody urine
- Nausea
- Fever
- Cloudy and unpleasant smelling urine
- Energy deficiency
- Frequent urge to urinate accompanied with itchiness
Instead of dangerous drugs that have many side effects, the safe alternatives are natural cures.
