Kidney Stones

Overview

The kidney is the organ that removes waste products from the body in the form of urine. It is an important part of the urinary system. In kidney stones, the waste product gets struck in the urinary system. Kidney stone symptoms include severe pain in the side or back of the abdomen, associated with nausea and difficulty urinating. Although passing kidney stones can be extremely painful, if they are caught early enough, they typically don't result in permanent harm. You might only need to take painkillers and drink a lot of water to clear a kidney stone, depending on your circumstances.
