Kidney stones are small hard clusters of crystal deposits. These stones are formed when there is an excess of a particular calcium or uric acid in your system, which can't be diluted by your body; therefore, it clumps together to form these kidney stones. Developing in the kidney, you may not feel any symptoms of the tiny clusters until they begin to move and travel through the body. They move around the kidney and then pass into the ureter, which connects the bladder and the kidney. This can be extremely painful. You can feel a pain that fluctuates in intensity and location. Commonly you will feel it in the back and side, below the ribs, lower abdomen and the groin, fever, and chills. Along with the pain, there is an uncomfortable amount of symptoms in regards to urination. It may have a strong smell and be cloudy or dark. You may feel you need to urinate often but can only get a little bit out, and then of course general pain when you are urinating. When this pain gets more intense, or you see blood in your urine you should seek immediate medical attention.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis.
