Do you also think that you have a kidney stone? Let's know how to identify it.

Risk of kidney stones

If there is a suspicion of kidney stones, then it becomes most important to pay attention to its symptoms. Before knowing about this, it is important to understand why kidney stones occur.

Kidney stones are formed by the deposition of solid minerals and salts. The risk of kidney stones increases due to the excessive accumulation of chemicals and other elements present in urine, such as calcium, oxalate, uric acid, etc.

When you have kidney stones, you start having many problems, and by paying attention to them, you can find out whether you are also having this problem or not.

What are the problems with kidney stones?

If you are having kidney stones, then first of all, you get severe pain in the stomach. This pain can be sudden and intense in the lower back, one side of the stomach, or the back. Along with this, it is important to pay attention to some other symptoms as well.

The pain is often like waves, sometimes very much, sometimes a little less.

Stones can cause problems in urination, such as burning or pain while urinating.

Frequent urination, but a small amount of urine can also be a sign of kidney stones.

Know these facts too.

Studies show that 80% of kidney stones are caused by calcium oxalate, which means that if you reduce the amount of calcium oxalate in your diet, then the risk of kidney stones can also be reduced.

Similarly, according to a report by the National Kidney Foundation, if someone has had a stone once, then there is a 50% chance that he may be at risk again in the next 5–10 years.

Keeping in mind such risks, all people should be alert.

What to do to avoid kidney stones?

Health experts say that the most important thing to reduce the risk of kidney stones is to keep drinking plenty of water. Drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day (2.5 to 3 liters a day). Apart from this, pay attention to your diet. Eat as little as possible of things containing more salt, oxalate (spinach, beets, tea, etc.).
