What Are Kidney Stones?

Common Symptoms of Kidney Stones

Kidney Stone Treatment

Kidney stones are hard mineral and salt deposits that form inside the kidneys due to concentrated urine or imbalances in mineral levels. These stones can range in size and may remain in the kidneys or travel down the urinary tract, causing significant pain and complications if not treated promptly. Early diagnosis and expert care are essential to avoid infections, kidney damage, or urinary blockage.

  • Severe pain in the back or side (flank pain)

  • Pain radiating to the lower abdomen or groin

  • Blood in urine (hematuria)

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Frequent or painful urination

  • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

  • Fever or chills (if infection is present)
