What Are the Symptoms of Kidney Stones, and How Can They Be Treated? - #14526
I have been experiencing severe lower back pain and discomfort while urinating, and after researching my symptoms, I suspect it might be a kidney stone. I want to understand what causes kidney stones, what symptoms to look for, and how they can be treated effectively. Some people say that drinking more water helps pass small kidney stones, but I am unsure whether all stones require medical treatment. Kidney stones are hard mineral and salt deposits that form in the kidneys, causing pain, nausea, blood in urine, and difficulty urinating. They can be made of calcium, uric acid, struvite, or cystine, each requiring different treatments. Many doctors recommend drinking plenty of fluids, taking pain relievers, or undergoing shock wave therapy (lithotripsy) for larger stones. However, I want to know whether certain diets or natural remedies can prevent kidney stones from forming. For those who have had kidney stones, what methods helped the most in passing them naturally or preventing recurrence? Would love insights into how to manage kidney stone pain and when surgery becomes necessary.
