Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that can form in the kidneys, often causing severe pain, blood in urine, or blockages. They frequently develop due to concentrated urine, and smaller stones may pass naturally. When stones are too large or problematic, various surgical procedures can safely remove or break them up. Maintaining good hydration and making dietary adjustments are key to prevention.
