Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are hard deposits formed in the kidneys from minerals and salts. They cause severe pain, often described as coming in waves. Kidney stones can obstruct urine flow, leading to infections or kidney damage. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests, while treatment ranges from increased fluid intake to surgical procedures.
