When urine contains too many crystallo-forming substances such as <strong>calcium, oxalates, phosphates or uric acid<\/strong>, and too few protective substances that prevent crystallization, accumulations form that eventually turn into limescale. <\/p>\n\n<p>These stones can be <strong>the size of a grain of sand<\/strong>, but also <strong>as large as beans<\/strong>. Their presence can be imperceptible until they begin to &#8220;travel&#8221; through the urinary tract, where they cause extremely severe pain. <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The first symptoms of kidney stones \u2013 signals that you should not ignore<\/h2>\n\n<p>Recognizing symptoms in time is key to successful and painless treatment. Although the symptoms are different in each individual, the most common signs appear: <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Intense pain in the back and side<\/h3>\n\n<p>The most common and characteristic symptom of kidney stones is <strong>sudden, sharp pain<\/strong> in the <strong>back, flank or lower ribs<\/strong>. The pain can spread to the abdomen, groin and even to the genitals. It often occurs in waves and lasts from a few minutes to several hours.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Pain and burning when urinating<\/h3>\n\n<p>When the stone passes through the ureter, it often causes a <strong>burning sensation and a burning sensation<\/strong> during urination. Many people mistakenly associate this symptom with urinary tract infections. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Frequent urination and a feeling of incomplete emptying<\/h3>\n\n<p>Stones can irritate the bladder and urethra, leading to a frequent need to urinate, even when the bladder is not full. It is possible to feel a constant urge to urinate, without real relief. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Discoloration of urine<\/h3>\n\n<p>Urine may become <strong>dark, cloudy, pink, or red<\/strong>, indicating the presence of blood (hematuria). This happens when the stone damages the lining of the urinary tract. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Nausea, vomiting, fatigue<\/h3>\n\n<p>Due to severe pain and general inflammation, the body often reacts with nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, chronic fatigue and a feeling of weakness. Some patients also have <strong>chills, chills and fever<\/strong>, which may indicate an additional infection. <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Causes of kidney stones \u2013 what most often causes them?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Understanding the causes is the first step towards prevention. The most common causes of kidney stones include: <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Insufficient water intake<\/h3>\n\n<p>The largest number of cases is associated with <strong>chronic dehydration<\/strong>. When the body does not have enough fluid, the urine becomes concentrated, which favors the formation of crystals and stones. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. A diet rich in salt, meat and oxalates<\/h3>\n\n<p>A high intake <strong>of table salt<\/strong>, <strong>red meat<\/strong>, and foods rich <strong>in oxalates<\/strong> (spinach, beetroot, chocolate, nuts) increases the risk of stone formation. Excessive intake <strong>of animal proteins<\/strong> also increases the excretion of uric acid. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Genetic predisposition<\/h3>\n\n<p>If someone in your family has or has had kidney stones, <strong>the risk increases many times over<\/strong>. Certain people have a natural tendency to deposition calcium and oxalate in their urine. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Metabolic disorders<\/h3>\n\n<p>Diseases such as <strong>gout<\/strong>, <strong>hypercalcemia<\/strong>, <strong>hyperparathyroidism<\/strong> or <strong>insulin resistance<\/strong> can increase the production of uric acid and calcium, thus creating ideal conditions for the formation of stones.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Infections and blockages in the urinary tract<\/h3>\n\n<p>Bacterial infections of the urinary tract, an enlarged prostate, scarring or narrowing of the urinary tract \u2013 all of these can make it difficult for urine to drain and promote the development of stones.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can kidney stones be prevented and treated naturally?<\/h2>\n\n<p>At <strong>MarioLAB Natural Healing Center<\/strong> , we believe that the body has a strong ability to heal itself when we give it the right conditions.
