How do u develop kidney stones?

The pain of passing a kidney stone is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy; I literally cried in the emergency room. It develops quietly over months from dehydration and too much salty food. Please take care of your body and drink water, the physical and emotional distress is just not worth it.

Drinking barley water and eating fresh cucumber helps flush out small mineral deposits before they become hard stones. But remember, if you start feeling a sharp, unbearable pain in your side or see blood in your urine, do not wait for home remedies to work. Go to a hospital immediately.

If you don't drink enough water, the calcium and oxalate in your urine bind together to form stones. An ultrasound to detect them costs around 1000 rupees, but treatment for a severe blockage can cost fifty times that. Just drink free tap water regularly and avoid high-sodium packaged foods.

Stones usually develop from a mix of low water intake, high salt diet, and sometimes family history. I always suggest people keep a small copper jug of water at their desk as a visual cue to keep drinking throughout the day. It's a simple habit that saves you from massive pain.
