Kidney Stones: Symptoms, Causes, prevention, treatment with conventional medicine or homeopathy

SYMPTOMS - Waves of severe pain that starts at the side and radiates to the groin. - Nausea and vomiting. - Profuse sweating. - Blood in the urine. Sometimes there is a concomitant infection that can also cause these symptoms: - fever and chills, - increase the urge to urinate - even intense pain with urination - urine cloudy or smells bad.

CONTACT THE DOCTOR IF ... - you think you have kidney stones, a medical examination is essential for the diagnosis and treatment. 
- You have a sharp pain that occurs in waves to the side or abdomen, the pain may also be a sign of other serious diseases such as gallstones, pelvic inflammatory disease, and bowel obstruction. Consult your doctor immediately. - Do you have pain or difficulty urinating; could be signs of cystitis, a sexually transmitted disease, a problem such as a vaginal vaginitis, an increase in the size of the prostate (see under prostate problems), or bladder cancer or prostate cancer. Consult your doctor without delay. - Notice of blood in the urine can indicate kidney disease or otherwise, a cancer of the bladder or the kidney, urinary tract infection or prostate cancer (see under prostate problems). Consult your doctor without delay.

The calculations usually are formed in the central part of the kidney where urine accumulates before reaching the ureter that leads to the bladder. 
They are formed when certain substances in urine, uric acid such as calcium, crystalline form agglomerates. The calculations are able smaller to be eliminated in the urine often without showing signs of self. The calculations biggest irritate and stretch the ureter as they pass into the bladder, causing severe pain and block the flow of urine. Sometimes a calculation can reach the size of a golf ball and in this case is trapped in the kidney resulting in a very serious illness. The calculations are more common in young adult and middle-aged individuals and affect men more than women. People who live in hot climates are more prone to the calculations because the body is dehydrated with increasing concentrations of minerals in the urine. Kidney stones often recur. It is therefore important to determine as best as possible the cause of the calculations to try to prevent recurrence.
