Health: Do you also think that leg and back pain is normal? These are the signs of this kidney disease..

In today's busy life, people are not able to take proper care of their health. Due to this, they are surrounded by many types of diseases. Kidney disease is also one of them. Kidney is an important part of our body. It pumps blood and cleans the body. If there is even a slight defect in it, then it is unable to do its work.

At the same time, the problem of kidney stones is also increasing rapidly due to food. When this problem occurs, small pieces of minerals and salt are formed in the kidney, which can be very painful. But if their symptoms are identified in time, then this disease can be cured with medicine. Today, we are going to give you detailed information about kidney stones and their symptoms. Let's know-

What is a kidney stone?

Let us tell you that kidney stones are actually clusters of small crystals, which are formed from minerals and other elements in your urinary tract. Most stones pass through the urine on their own, but when they move, it can cause a lot of pain. If the stone does not come out on its own or causes a blockage, then the doctor may need to break it or remove it.

This is how stones are formed.

These stones are formed inside the kidney from minerals, acids, and salts. They can sometimes be very small (as small as a grain of sand) and sometimes very big (bigger than a golf ball, although this happens very rarely). Kidney stones are also called renal calculi or nephrolithiasis. If the stone is small, then many times people do not even know that they have a stone. These easily pass with urine. But big stones can get stuck in the urinary tract (ureter), due to which urine stops, and kidney function can stop.
