3. Causes: Kidney Stone

Kidney stones are a buildup of minerals and salts that form inside the kidney. They are extremely painful but do not usually cause internal damage. In most cases, drinking plenty of water is enough to push out the kidney stones. However, in some cases, stones can become lodged in the urinary tract and require surgery or other interventions to remove the stones. Dehydration, family and personal history, and obesity increase the chances of developing kidney stones. Certain medications, diets, and genetic conditions also boost the likelihood of developing kidney stones.
