Urolithiasis is a serious chronic disease that threatens with relapse and unbearable pain. It is easier to cope with the problem if you recognize the pathology in time. Doctors named 5 first signs indicating the appearance of kidney stones.

As explained by Dr. David Patterson from the Mayo Clinic, kidney stones are considered hard deposits that form in the urinary system from minerals and salts. For some time, the disease is asymptomatic, and the first signs appear when the stones enter the ureter. Movement is accompanied by pain that can roll in waves, give to the lower abdomen, back and side. Urination becomes more frequent, while the urine itself may have an unpleasant odor, as well as a brown or pink color. In addition, the disease is indicated by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting and chills. If these manifestations are accompanied by pain that does not disappear when changing body position, you should immediately consult a doctor.

The doctor noted that the risk of kidney stones increases if a person’s diet is high in protein, salt and sugar. Genetics, excess weight and dehydration also affect the development of urolithiasis.
