How to Prevent Kidney Stones

Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form inside your kidneys. They cause excruciating pain when they pass through your urinary tract.

There’s no one sure way to prevent kidney stones, especially if you have a family history of the condition. A combination of diet and lifestyle changes, as well as some medications, may help reduce your risk.

Making small adjustments to your current diet and nutrition plan may go a long way toward preventing kidney stones.
