Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits which may get stuck or pass with pain from the kidneys or one of the ureters. Many people don\u2019t know that they have kidney stones unless there is a specific problem or during a routine doctor\u2019s exam. 90% of kidney stones pass spontaneously; 10% need surgery.<\/p>\n
Symptoms of kidney stones include sudden intermittent pains that may cause radiating pains into kidney, pelvic, testes, legs or abdomen. There is over 50% reoccurrence statistically.<\/p>\n

Common causes of kidney stones include a diet rich in animal proteins, coffee, black tea, hard water or fast foods. Other less common or serious diseases contributing to kidney stones include sick parathyroid glands (they regulate calcium), infections, or even structural effects. We will mostly deal with the common stones.<\/p>\n
Modern medicine uses pain killers, diuretics and even lithotripsy to blast kidney stones. Lithotripsy has problems with damage to tissues; surgery has its dangers too.<\/p>\n
Prevention may include the following: Eating a vegetarian diet as well as drinking water or citrus juices at 2 quarts a day. Avoid tobacco, alcohol, coffee, black or green tea, as well as sodas. Statistically, vegetarians fare best.<\/p>\n
