Stones can occur anywhere in the urinary tract. The stones can be different sizes and shapes. Commonly, kidney stones can be found. The pain is felt in the back as well as when passing urine. The chemicals in our blood, such as calcium oxalic, phosphate and uric acids, can cause stones to form. The parathyroid gland can also cause kidney stones. The stones can also cause lesions as they pass through the urinary system. The bladder becomes inflamed when the stone reaches it.

Types of Kidney Stones

There are different types of kidney stones. There are many types of kidney stone. There are two common types:

Calcium Stones

They are the most common. These are made of calcium oxalate, or calcium phosphate. They can be caused by eating foods high in oxalate, such as peanuts, potato chips, spinach, chocolate, or beets. Reduced intake of these foods can reduce the risk of developing kidney stones.

Uric Acid

Men, people with gout and chemotherapy patients are more likely to develop these stones. These stones form when urine becomes acidic. Purine and proteins are known to increase the risk. Avoid eating animal products such as meat, fish, and shellfish.

Struvite

Women with recurrent urinary infections are more likely to develop these stones. They are large and can obstruct your urinary system. The obstruction can also lead to infection in the kidneys.

Cystine

The stones are rare. Both men and women with cystinuria genetic disorder can develop these stones. The kidneys release the acid cystine through urine.

Patients may feel pain in their lower abdomen that radiates to the back, or when passing urine.

Kidney Stone Treatment

The conventional treatment for kidney stones is usually pain medication or anti-inflammatory drugs. Treatment is determined by the type and the cause of the stone. Some people find that drinking enough water can help them pass the stone out through their urinary tract. Some doctors may prescribe medications that can help in the breakdown of the stones and their excretion. Conventional medicines do not treat the cause of kidney stones.
