Why do kidney stones occur?
The cause of this phenomenon is a small formation inside the kidney, which consists of crystals from the urine. When this formation tries to exit through the urethra (which is no larger in diameter than a noodle), pain occurs. Most urinary stones are made of calcium, but the following factors are implicated in their formation: sedentary lifestyle; recurrent urinary tract infections; chronic dehydration; heredity.
