Kidney stones, medically known as renal calculi, are a common and painful urinary tract condition affecting people of all age groups. These stones form when minerals and salts in the urine crystallize and harden within the kidneys. While small stones may pass naturally, larger stones can cause severe pain and complications, requiring medical or surgical treatment.
